What if my player cannot make tryouts?Register for tryouts to be considered for team placement. Families unable to attend should also complete the
Tryout Absence FormNot being able to attend tryouts may affect your team placement. Our professional staff will do their best to find proper placement for those unable to attend. We will utilize Technical Director observational notes made throughout the year to do so (current members).
We will not have alternative dates/times to make up this eventWhat if my player can only make one day of tryouts?Register for tryouts to be considered for team placement. Players should do their very best to attend both days if possible. Families unable to attend should also complete the
Tryout Absence Form. The evaluations will be based on the date attended as well as T echnical Director observational notes made through the year (current members).
What do I need to bring to tryouts?You will need to bring your tryout shirt (provided at check-in), water, shin guards, socks, and cleats.
What happens the day of tryouts?Players will be put into small-sided games and evaluated in different categories by 4-6 evaluators, along with our professional staff. Key categories include, but not limited to, dribbling (1v1) & ball control, passing/receiving, shooting/finishing, spatial awareness, and level of engagement. Goalkeepers U11+ will be assessed in a 'GK Only' group with our GK Staff for the first portion of each day, before being placed in net for the small-sided games with field-players.
Can my player tryout for an older age group?Trying out for an older age group is only allowed for U11+ age groups (i.e. earliest example - U11 players trying out for U12). These scenarios are not common and will be approved by our professional staff based on what is best for the players' development. Generally, playing up an age group is only considered for players performing at the top or above the level of their entire age group.
Does travel soccer allow for multi-sport athletes?LSC believes in the holistic approach for player development and recognizes the value of having multi-sport athletes in our programs. Players are expected to prioritize soccer during the main "soccer months" of Fall/Spring/Summer. Our coaches/directors work with families to help accommodate winter sport schedules and expect up front communication with your coach to avoid conflicts.
Do all players make a team?LSC does it's best to find a team for all players. Based on number of registrants and available teams, this can sometimes not work out. Any player without a team will be placed on a waitlist. You will receive information regarding the waitlist if you are to be added to it.
How does the club share tryout results/scores?A team offer will be communicated via email for the 23/24 seasons. No rosters will be posted to the website. All team placements are final and not eligible for discussion. No evaluation scores or notes will be shared. Families will have 48 hours to accept/decline their position.
