Tryout Process:  The main part of tryouts and evaluations has been finalized. Players were evaluated considering the four pillars of the Parkland Soccer Club model; technical, tactical, physical and psychological. Players would have been offered a spot in a team, based on the coaches' perceived level of challenge that would be best for the player's development. As discussed in our meetings, please keep in mind that the evaluation process continuous during the season and the club may change the challenge for players to help with their growth. The following age groups are still holding either open practices or extended tryouts to identify additional players:

• Girls 2012, 2010, 2009 and 2007
• Boys 2015, 2014, 2011, 2008 and 2007

We want to thank all of the players that participated in the tryouts for their hard work and dedication and encourage them to continue working and looking for opportunities to grow and compete.

 

Tryout Results: If your child was or is selected for a team, they would have received or will receive an invitation via email to join the team. That communication is normally followed up with a phone call either by the coach or the one of the Directors of the club. Our goal is to finalize all  rosters and have completed meetings by mid June.  

 

Amount of players per team:  Roster Size: Whenever possible, coaches are encouraged to form rosters that will allow all players significant playing time over the course of a season. Coaches are encouraged to build rosters that allow players the opportunity to experience meaningful competition during each match.  Coaches are encouraged to roster only those players who can maintain the competitive level of their particular team.
