Niskayuna Soccer Club Announces U12 and above Tryouts

***Important Change in Tryouts***
Revised May 30th

*** Please note that this change was made to accommodate a conflict for the U12 Girls

Tryouts :

(Lacrosse is using the soccer fields for their tournaments so we are swapping fields with them)

Please make every effort to show up for your assigned time .

We understand that everyone is busy but in order to get a good assessment, it is imperative that players show up (15 minutes before tryouts begin) and give their best effort. 

The format for tryouts will be:

• A series of 3 vs. 3 scrimmages will be played where evaluators will note technical, as well as tactical skills.
• 6 vs. 6 or larger scrimmages may also be played if time allows.
• Whenever possible, the lead coach for the age group will observe the 3 vs. 3 play and other tryout activities, and give guidance to player ranking and team assignment.
• Coaches from the current season will be asked for comments about their current team that might help with the placements. Such comments might include attendance, coach-ability, ability to play goalie, or other attributes that might not show up in a 2 or 3 day tryout.

***Bubble tryouts and rain dates are listed below.  Specific times will be assigned based on the need for a bubble tryout for your child's age group. 

Bubble Tryouts and Rain Dates:

Specific times will be assigned based on the need for a bubble tryout for your child’s age group.
