ARIS FC OFFERS A COMPETITIVE SOCCER ENVIRONMENT FORÂ BOYS & GIRLS
- Aris FC is holding tryouts for competitive players (ages 7-18) that wish to develop their soccer skills to play at an elite level
- Each age group will have two tryout dates in 3 locations. Players interested in joining the club must attend at least one tryout day with their own age group. Make-up evaluation opportunities will be made available throughout the summer
- Offers will be sent after the second tryout in order to give all players a fair opportunity to make a team
- Tryouts are set up as training sessions. Parents are encouraged to watch sessions in order to see how players will be trained during the season
- The goal for the new season will be to have a maximum of two teams per age group, ideally grouping players with the team (D1/D2 or D2/D3) that offers the best opportunity for the development and success of each player
- We offer 2 - 3 training sessions a week in multiple locations. All sessions are 90 minutes and the players will NOT train past 8:30.
PLAYER EVALUATION CRITERIA
When evaluating players we will structure the session to assess the following:
1. SPEED - All players will be evaluated on natural speed without the ball
2. AGGRESSIVENESS - Players will be assessed on the willingness to win a ball
3. 1v1 ATTACKING / DEFENDING - Players will be rated on how well they can attack and defend in 1v1 situations
4. PLAYING UNDER PRESSURE - Players will be assessed on the ability to play fast -- making quick decisions under pressure; passing accurately, receiving the ball well, and playing one/two touch under pressure
5. CONTROL & SPEED DRIBBLING - Players will be evaluated on controlled dribbling, shielding, recognition and acceleration into open space. Composure in traffic while under pressure, and field vision
6. FINISHING - All players, no matter the chosen position will be assessed on shooting ability and desire to score
7. COACHABILITY - Players will be evaluated on their ability to work with each other and take instruction from coaches
