• How will players be evaluated?

The mission of the Shores Soccer Club travel team tryout and selection process is to ensure that all players receive a fair opportunity to join a team of their peers possessing similar game skills. Players interested in participating in our competitive program must attend the tryouts for their age groups. Players are evaluated on several components:

Tryout Performance

• Technical Skill – dribbling, passing, shooting, etc.
• Tactical Awareness – attacking & defending principles, spacing, movement off the ball
• Physical Abilities – speed, strength, balance, and coordination
• Psychological – aggressiveness, determination, discipline, sportsmanship

Previous Season Performance

• Development- ball control, and skill on the ball, speed, agility and motor function. Basically we are looking for how much the player has improved from the beginning to the end of the season
• Commitment- character, discipline, attendance, focus, and desire to play
• Game Impact- Understanding the game, anticipating plays, and decision-making, how the player influences the outcome of games
• Head Coach Evaluations
• Trainer Evaluation- based on observations made during pool training

Player evaluations and selections are made by our coaching staff. Players selected to participate will receive an email with the registration link. All selections are made within 24-48 hours after your tryout date. In addition to the email, players selected will receive a follow-up phone call from the head coach confirming the parents have received the email and they have a true desire to play competitive soccer. Selected players will have 48 hours after receipt of email to register online. Failure to register on time will result in player losing his placement on the team.
