The Tryout... It can be exciting. It can be nerve-racking. It can be stressful. It can be rewarding.
A player's first introduction to select soccer is The Tryout. For a young athlete the pressure of being evaluated, of being tested- is a right of passage into the next level of their development. However, this does not need to be an overwhelming experience. It can be one that challenges them and provides direction in where there is still the most potential to improve their game.
NC Alliance wants to make the first experience with the club a positive one. We want to provide an opportunity for all players to grow into complete soccer players. That is why our evaluation process focuses on 5 main components of their game:
Technical Offense
Technical Defense
Tactical
Physical
Psychological
An example of our Player Evaluation form is below. Be sure to highlight with your child where and how to demonstrate their abilities during the tryout. The best players are complete players that can perform at all aspects of their game.
Each participant will be provided their results after the tryouts are completed with their average scores listed. This can be used as a first step in knowing where to continue to focus their training. The scoring may appear to be detailed but it ensures the player is given the proper time and attention during the tryout for a fair determination of placement.
The Tryout Details
All tryouts for each age group is over two days and 90 minutes each and will be held at Bender Fields in Lynden. There will be a $10 tryout registration fee.
