COMPETITIVE TRYOUT PROCESS
Players interested in participating in the CISA competitive program will attend a two-day tryout session. CISA coaches evaluate players to better group players based on ability, skills, and game knowledge through this identification program. The tryouts also allow the club to assess the entire age group and arrange staff needs for the upcoming season/year.
Players are issued a number at registration. As the athletes go through a training progression, our staff evaluate their performance relative to the components of soccer. These include:
Technical Ability - skill proficiency
Technical Speed - ability to execute skill at top speed
Tactical Application - understanding of time and space, movement with and without the ball, field vision, ability to combine with other players, speed of thought, etc.
Physical Attributes - speed, strength on the ball (tackling & shielding ball)
Psychological Dimensions - competitiveness, work ethic, interaction with teammates, coachability.
CISA team coaches will evaluate players to determine the level of play (Competitive or Developmental)
An email will go out with player placement information to parents/guardians with an offer to join a team. Parents are required to accept or decline the offer within 48 hours of receiving it. Parents must agree and pay the registration fees before placement is finalized.
