[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having now reached the stage of going to college ID clinics, many of the same complaints about beginning level tryouts still hold true at the college sessions.  There are still players showing up who have no place being there, the players who think that they have to be a ball hog to impress, and even those players who show up in bright socks or shorts in order to catch the coach's eyes.  And the format of the tryouts are very similar - the individual dribbling moving to passing drills to small-sided scrimmages and then finishing with a large-sided game.

And while you occasionally see the ball hog moving up to the higher field, generally the same things that will get your kid noticed by smart coaches at the younger ages, are the things that actually impress the college coaches - eg, as noted above, the ability to possess under pressure, to communicate with your teammates, high work rate, etc.[/quote]

How does a parent know whether or not their kid should try out for travel?  Wouldn't want to be one of the ones who has no place being there, but all I have to go off of is other rec players and some skills clinics sponsored by the clubs.  Kid (U10) is definitely dominant in rec, but not refined.[/quote]

If your kid has some soccer skills and a desire to play soccer and travel then go to some tryouts and don't worry about it. [/quote]

If you can try out for one large club and a smaller one. Where do you live...people can give you a few clubs names.[/quote]
