Christyinco Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 My dd wants to play soccer at the local high school (smaller town) and I was told that there would be tryouts at the beginning of the year. She's never done tryouts. She's played several seasons of soccer through the parks and rec program, but that was several years ago. What can see expect with these and what are they looking for?

Unicorn. Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Most likely it will resemble a practice session. They will watch the kids as they run drills, etc. to evaluate people's skills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdogs29906 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 :iagree: As a high school soccer coach, I can tell you that there is no need to fear. We take nervousness into consideration*! I run my tryouts very similar to practices, with a few exceptions. I will look at speed (sprint/endurance), ball handling, overall strength, knowledge/understanding of the game, willingness to accept direction/correction, and attitude. These can all be pretty well evaluated in your typical practice-like drills. Best of luck to her! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
