Team Selection:
Your coaches recognize that team selection is a critical event, one that can lead to great excitement or disappointment. Unfortunately, the program does not have enough space to offer every athlete a position on the team. The coaches work collaboratively on player assessment and placement during try-outs and throughout the year. Junior Varsity and Varsity team selections will be based on the following criteria:
Soccer technical ability: How well do you execute basic and advanced skills?
Soccer tactical ability: How well do you demonstrate correct positioning, strategy adjustments, and good decision-making?
Positive attitude: Do you consistently exhibit effort, teamwork, and leadership? Are you regularly on time and ready to play?
Personal growth/potential playing time: Which team will give you the most playing time? What will help you mature into the best player you can be?
Team needs: Where would you contribute the most to the soccer program? Does Varsity need cover at a position, does JV need to fill a position, etc.?
Evaluations:
The coaches will use the following Evaluation Form to assess players throughout the year. Students will be given their Evaluation Form and the coach will discuss with the student individually their scores, strengths/weaknesses, and what to work on to improve.
