[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Throwing this in here for anyone who needs to prepare a player coming in cold. We've been to several tryouts in the past 10 days (dear god, please let it stop), and the players were assessed in these kinds of activities: 1. Juggling (one kid got to 100 touches; maybe he made the team) 2. 1 v. 0 dribbling in a large circle with all the other players, doing moves called out by coaches 3. Athleticism tests such as sprints or agility routines with cones 4. And most important: small-sided or near small-sided scrimmages (e.g., 4 v. 4; 7 v. 7) [b]What's missing in my view is playing on a full field,[/b] but there hasn't been enough field space for that. DS has received two offers but (of course!) nothing from the club he wants to play for the most. [/quote] I think this is a really good point. My kid is great on a small field but is overwhelmed on a full field. [/quote]
