Tryout Prep and What to Expect

Leading up to Tryouts:

• Speed, strength and agility training should be performed regularly up to and through tryouts
• Fundamental skill work with passing, trapping and driving the ball for field players and goalkeepers. Goalkeepers should also be sufficiently fit for skill specific evaluations.
• Small sided scrimmages will be excellent preparation for similar tryout evaluation conditions

Pre-trial Process

• Players should arrive by 6:00pm to check-in
• Upon check-in, players will receive a number that will be pinned on the back of their shirt. This number needs to be kept for all 3 sessions as it will be used for the evaluation process
• Food and drinks for purchase will be available at the field.
