PLAYER EVALUATIONS AT ADVANCED & SELECT SOCCER TRYOUTS
 

Is this the first time your child is attending the advanced or select soccer tryouts? How will your child be evaluated? All players will be evaluated by the Head Coach of the team for which he or she is trying out, and independent Coach/Evaluator not affiliated with that age group, and in some cases the Technical Director.

Each player will be evaluated on a 5-point scale (5 being the top scale and 1 being the lowest) in the following four qualities: Technique, Insight, Athleticism, and Understanding. The definitions of each are as follows:

Technique/Skills: Ball Control, 1v1, Passing, Shooting, Tackling, Goalkeeping, Heading, etc.

Insight: Positioning, Movement without the ball, Awareness, Sense of Purpose, Vision, etc.

Athleticism: Speed, Agility, Quickness, Balance, Strength, Power

Understanding: Ability to play the game

Much of these evaluations will be done in a group setting though small-sided games. Players should be consistently playing and showing their interest in the game. Players who stand or wait for the ball may not get a proper evaluation of their abilities. The best thing to do is encourage your child to play their best and always focus on the activity or game. For further questions regarding player evaluations at tryouts, please contact the Technical Director, Coach Kenwyn "Coops" Cooper, at coopskg@yahoo.com or 588-3294.
