The St. Vrain FC Pre-Tryout camp is an opportunity for players to receive 6 hours of professional training with St. Vrain FC staff coaches and coaches within the age group. Players get a week to sharpen up their skills before tryouts the following week.

This camp is also an opportunity for players to get rid of any tryout jitters or anxiety, and a chance to meet staff

members and potential coaches.


Staff members will be available to answer any questions players or parents may have.

 

The cost of the camp is $30 / player and includes a camp t-shirt and covers the cost of the field rental fees at Sandstone Ranch.

The Importance of Try-outs

Try-outs are an important part of player development.  In order to facilitate a proper training environment, it is necessary to make sure that players are grouped by ability.  That way they are taught the skills necessary to push them on to the next level, whatever that may be.  If all players are ready for a particular topic, there is less frustration in a players inability to do something or boredom from a player not being challenged enough.  This also helps with the process of of placement within the state leagues.  Again, it is our goal to make sure that every player has the opportunity to play at the level they are most comfortable with to maintain our wish that players love the game for life.

Players are evaluated on the following:

1 – Technical Abilities – Receiving and First Touch, Dribbling (Control and Speed), Finishing, Passing

2 – Tactical Abilities – Decision making, Communication, Defending

3 – Physical – Strength, Overall Speed, Aggressiveness

4 – Mental – Desire, Competitive Spirit, Work Rate
