Canyon Soccer Tryouts Information Sheet
A rubric is used to evaluate athletes during the tryout process with a rating in 5 categories: Technical Skills Tactical Abilities, Physical Abilities, Sportsmanship, and Competitiveness.
After tryouts are over, all participating athletes will receive an email indicating if they have made the team. Once your athlete makes a Canyon team, we request an athletic contribution of $100 per athlete, per sport played, due at the time of the email or before the first team practice. Families can make this donation online at our Canyon Webstore or by check made out to Canyon Middle School. If you’re able, additional monetary or volunteer time donations to support Canyon’s Athletic Boosters program are always welcome.
