Player Evaluations

Head coaches can hold player evaluations May 14 — 28. The player evaluations can be held at Riverside Soccer Complex. Each head coach can sign up for four time slots, but only one time slot per day. U11–U12 teams will use field 1. U13–U19 teams will use field 13. Use the link below to sign up for player evaluation time slots.

Coaches are encouraged to hold open tryouts so that every child in the age range of the team has an equal opportunity to be chosen for the team.

Emails will be sent to all age-eligible players about player evaluations for each team. These emails will be sent on May 2 and May 9.

Players must register in GotSport before they can attend player evaluations. Registering for player evaluations will also register the player for the 2022/2023 select year.

When registering, parents will see an option to delay the first payment of the player registration fee until June 1st. This allows for players to attend evaluations without requiring a payment.
