*Players should attend all sessions to allow our professional staff to fully evaluate skills.
**Rainout makeup dates only if necessary.
Tryouts typically consist of two-1.5 hour sessions held on separate days. At the tryouts, players will participate in individual skills drills and small-sided games (1 v 1, 1 v 2, 2 v 2, 4 v 4), culminating in 8 v 8 or 11 v 11 games, that reflect individual skills and team skills and game awareness. If a prospective player misses the tryouts, they may be able to attend a supplemental tryout sessions if professional staff are available.
In addition to the tryouts, players who participated in the SCFC Academy will also be evaluated based on their performance during the Academy practices and matches. Incoming recreational players are highly encouraged to take part in SCFC Game Nights that precede the tryouts (usually the late April/early May time period). This will allow the professional staff to better assess recreational players’ skills levels. Recreational players still must take part in tryouts regardless of whether they attended SCFC Game Nights. More info on SCFC Game Nights will be provided via e-mail.
Based upon Academy player evaluations, evaluations of players at the SCFC Game Nights and at tryouts, all of the participating players will be ranked by the professional staff and then offered a roster slot in the appropriate SCFC Competitive Program division. A player that, in the opinion of the professional staff, is not yet ready for competitive level of play will likely be advised to continue in the recreational program. In that case, you will be able to return to the registration system and complete the steps to enroll your player in the recreational program.
If you have any questions concerning tryouts, e-mail the Competitive Committee Chair at vp1@spacecityfc.org or SCFC Executive Director at execdir@spacecityfc.org. You can also call the club office at (281) 724-9915.
