Tryout Information
- Tryouts are one of the ways that the Club gathers information used for placement of players on the travel teams. If you are interested in being considered for a travel team, you should attend. They are not mandatory but are recommended. If you choose not to tryout, you will be placed on a NSCCL (Champions League) team.
- You do NOT have to tryout to play Needham Soccer.
- If you are unable to attend at the specific time for your group, contact your current coach by email and the Needham Soccer Club at admin@needhamsoccer.com and let them know.
- Age groups are listed above. You may ONLY tryout with your own age group. If you are currently playing in U9 this spring, then you will be U10 in the fall. If you are currently a U12 player, then you tryout for U14 fall travel team as U13 and U14 groups are combined and there are NO U14 non-travel teams.
- All parents are asked to stay away from where the tryouts take place. No cheering or “coaching” or talking is allowed.
- Players will be asked to complete a series of drills and demonstrate skills that they are familiar with and that are age appropriate. They will be evaluated by experienced professional trainers.
- No player who is currently in the St. Bart’s league will need to tryout for Needham Soccer.
- All players should show up 10 minutes prior to their scheduled tryout time to check-in.
