If my player was on an ASC Team last year, does he/she need to attend try outs again?

How many players/what size fields do the teams play on?

When does the season start?
The season starts in mid-September and runs through mid-May.
When are practices and games?
Practices are on Tuesdays & Thursdays on Support Site typically beginning at 6pm. Games are played on Saturdays and/or Sundays with the occasional weekday game if we are unable to play on the weekend due to an American or Italian holiday.
Where are games played?
Games are played in town against local Italian teams at their home fields. Many games are within a 20-30 minute radius of Support Site.
We are new to the area and missed tryouts in August. Is it too late to have my player join?
ASC allows for a rolling tryout throughout the season.
New players will participate in 2-3 practices with their age group for evaluation. Although rolling tryouts are offered, you are not guaranteed a roster spot. If a player is offered a roster spot it may be as an active player OR as a practice player (no games, only practices).
Roster spot decisions are based on player's soccer ability, coachability, existing team size, and games remaining.
If you are interested in trying out, please email Ryan Smith, ASC President, at president@ascnaples.net
