Assessments vs. Tryouts at FC Northwest:

• Players who register for the U9-U12 Developmental League will be taking part in our FC Northwest One Season Assessments. The purpose of these assessments is to help with team formations as we anticipate the growth of our developmental numbers for 2024, while also ensuring we create balanced teams for age groups that have more than 1 team.

• Players who register for the U13-U17 Premier League will be taking part in our FC Northwest One Season Tryouts. The purpose of these tryouts is to help create competitive teams for all age groups, resulting in potential roster cuts and/or P1/P2 selection depending on registration numbers.  

• Be dressed in appropriate soccer attire for all sessions (cleats, shin guards, shorts, and ideally a white shirt).

• Ensure your child brings a labelled water bottle and note that the facility only allows water to enter the playing field. 

 

What to Expect at Assessments/Tryouts:

• During the 2-day assessment/tryouts, players will be put through a number of drills and small-sided games that could focus on:

• Technical Skills: Dribbling, Receiving (ground/air), Passing (short/long distance), and Shooting (power/accuracy)

• Tactical Skills: Decision Making, Field Vision, Positioning, Communication, and 1v1 Attacking/Defending

• Physical Skills: Speed, Endurance, Agility, and Physicality

• Psychological Skills: Composure, Competitiveness, and Focus/Concentration

• We will be sending some further detailed information this weekend regarding what criteria each of the above skills will focus on.

 

Assessment/Tryout Assessors & Feedback:

• The 2024 One Season Assessments/Tryouts will be assessed by our Club Coordinator (Austin Benevides), our Technical Lead (Serhiy Zan), and possibly a Third-Party Assessor (Combination of FCNW alumni, University soccer alumni, and impartial assessors).

• All assessment/tryout participants will receive a detailed player assessment form following the completion of the assessments/tryouts that will identify a player's strengths and challenges. 

• The goal behind our player assessment forms is to focus on player development and target key areas that players excel at or could use some extra work on throughout the 2024 season. 

Assessment/Tryout Fees:

• There will be a small fee of $30.00 for all players that register for the 2024 One Season Assessments/Tryouts that can be paid online through credit card or paid in office by cash, cheque, and debit.
