2009 Competitive Try-out Protocol
CDSA TRY-OUT PROTOCOL
Spring 2009
1. Under-9 (U-9) is the youngest traveling age group. No player can play “UP” into this age group. ALL players MUST be eight (8) years old prior to July 31, 2008.
2. U-11 and above players who wish to tryout for an older age group must also tryout in their appropriate age group. U-11 and above may tryout in the age group of their choice.
3. U-9 and U-10 players may NOT play "UP".
4. There will be two tryouts per age group. The schedule will be posted to the CDSA website.
5. Recruiting is strictly prohibited.
PLAYING “UP”
1. Players will be selected for teams out of their age group if, in the opinion of the Director of Coaching and the evaluators, the player is competitive in that age group. Consideration will be given to players who are playing up to be with their grade in school.
EVALUATORS
1. The club administers try-outs for CDSA teams; the teams DO NOT run their own try-outs.
2. The club will provide evaluators who will work with the coaches and the Director of Coaching to run the try-outs and choose the players for each team.
Are You Dreaming Big?
Are you dreaming of being the next Landon Donovan? Not sure how to get there? Think about this.
Playing on a Representative Team is the first step on the path to soccer greatness. Representative Team players are eligible to tryout for the Olympic Development Program (ODP). ODP players are eligible to tryout for regional and national teams.
If you have dreams of representing our country in the World Cup someday, the path to the national team goes through Representative Team ball. Every child in all the organizations affiliated with CDSA: Dover YMCA, Holy Cross CYO, Smyrna, DAFB, Milford Parks & Rec, etc. are eligible to tryout for our Representative Teams.
Being selected for one of CDSAs Rep Teams is an honor. Its equivalent to being selected for the All-Star team in other sports, but even higher. Our All-Stars are the best of the best from Smyrna to Milford. The kids on our Representative Teams, as the name implies, represent Central Delaware, to the rest of the soccer world in league and tournament competitions, locally, regionally, and nationally.
So do you think youre good enough to play on a Representative Team? Tryouts are over, but it may not be too late. Contact the Coach of your age group. Lets talk!
So What's Stopping You?
Did you know the mission of CDSA is to develop soccer players to their fullest potential? Did you know the Recreational Program is just the first step in a progression of skill development? Does your child have a love for the game and an interest to move beyond the beginner level? If your childs not feeling challenged enough by Rec ball, and if your child wants to try a more competitive experience, joining a Rep Team Player Pool may be the answer and the appropriate next step in your childs soccer development. Interested? Contact the Coach of your age group. Names, numbers and emails are on this website. Slots in the player pools are limited, so make the contact today.
