TRY-US-OUTS FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

TRYOUTS FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

  • How are the Try-Us-Out sessions structured?

    • The first session will be comprised of small-sided soccer games. Players will use their decision-making skills by participating in small group (4v4) activities with the goal of maximizing ball touch opportunities in game-like situations.
    • The second session will be comprised of age-appropriate sized games, such as 7v7 or 9v9.

  • Who will be evaluating my player during Try-Us-Outs?

    • Your player will be evaluated by licensed EPSC Staff, coaches, and independent evaluators.
    • Players will be assessed by multiple evaluators with the goal of placing them on the most appropriate team for their developmental needs with other players of similar play levels.

  • How does the evaluation process work?

    • During the Try-Us-Out sessions, evaluators will use a software that automatically inputs scores for players into the EPSC system. 
    • The numbers assigned to players during these sessions are them coupled with coach and Director scores to provide one overall score for each player.
    • When player scores place them in between two different levels of play, EPSC Staff provide their input to make the best, most developmentally appropriate placement.
    • All EPSC Staff are involved in the team formation process.

  • How are teams formed once Try-Us-Outs have concluded?

    • To be placed on a team, any participating player must be registered in the Try-Us-Out event on PlayMetrics. No exceptions will be made.
    • New players are placed on teams within 72 hours after the final Try-Us-Out session based on observations made by attending coaches and EPSC Staff. Notification of team placement will arrive via email.
    • Players will be placed on the most developmentally appropriate team for their age and skills.
    • EPSC staff will attempt to place as many players as possible, and will make projections numbers/team in advance of the sessions.

  • What should my player bring to the Try-Us-Out Session?

    • Players should wear weather appropriate clothing, including shorts and a soccer jersey or t-shirt
    • All players must wear shin guards
    • Plenty of water
    • A fully inflated size 4 soccer ball
    • Pinnies will be handed out at the field
    • A positive attitude and an open mind

  • What if my player is unable to attend the Try-Us-Out Sessions or can only attend one of them?

    • Players not able to attend will be placed according to prior season coach evaluation and Director player ranking. 
    • If you know that your player is unavailable for one or both sessions, please register your player under the Try-Us-Out event in PlayMetrics, note the absence in your registration, AND notify club staff at Info@EPSoccerClub.com
    • New players who cannot attend the session will be placed on the most developmentally appropriate team given the information available to EPSC Staff at the time. 
    • Placements cannot be contested. However, players will be assessed by EPSC staff during the Fall season and moved to a more developmentally appropriate team in the Spring, if needed.

  • My player wants to be a goalkeeper. Will there be specific sessions for goalkeepers?

    • There are no goalkeeper Try-Us-Outs at the 8U-11U age levels. You can, however, indicate their position preference when registering them for the Try-Us-Outs through PlayMetrics.

  • How long do I have to make a decision for my player?

    • You will have 72 hours to accept the team placement offer for your player.
    • If you do not accept your spot within 72 hours, there is no guarantee that your player's spot will still be avialable.
