TRYOUT EVALUATION PROCESS
Rye Youth Soccer is a yearlong program that requires a commitment for the fall and spring season. Each spring tryouts are conducted for the upcoming season. Tryouts for the fall 2019/Spring 2020 RYS Travel Teams will soon be announced.
Yearly assessments are conducted in order to help us to determine what the best team is for your child. Players do best and develop fastest when they are playing at the right level for their ability. Some players may need to move up to a higher team. And some players may benefit from moving down to a lower team. While movement between teams is to be expected, we generally expect the core of the teams will stay relatively intact from year to year.
We also offer the opportunity for new players to try out for our travel teams. New players and current players have an equal chance to make a team. Current players are not guaranteed a spot on a travel team and must tryout every year.
U9 is the entry level to travel soccer. Coming out of the initial tryout we typically form two B+ teams and two B- teams for the U9 age group. After the first year of travel soccer, we reshuffle those teams to form an A team, two B teams, and a C team. Some age groups vary in size and composition so there are often exceptions to this rule and the teams may need to be set up differently. If the Age Group Coordinator identifies a compelling reason to structure the teams differently, then in collaboration with the RYS board we will determine the best way to organize the teams.
Previously our tryout process has varied by age group. To avoid any confusion, moving forward we are looking to standardize the tryout process across all age groups.

The tryout evaluation has two components:
• Ongoing observation and evaluation by the trainers and parent coaches of the current travel players at all spring practices and games.
• A formal tryout during practice time where current players and new players will be evaluated. (Usually this is conducted in late May or early June).
Trainers and coaches consider the following when they evaluate players:
• Ability and Skill
• Athleticism
• Attitude and Effort
• Attendance at practices and games
• Positions Played (This is especially true for goalies)
After the tryout, the trainers use all the data and feedback available to assign players to the respective teams for that age group. Families are notified in late June as to what team their child will be on for the following year. We try to time these notifications to arrive AFTER school dismisses for the summer.
