Note

In line with Nor Cal procedures, if you are intending to join us from a competitive program you must inform us first so we can obtain written consent from the previous clubs DOC. There is a window for when players may move between clubs, and for clubs to hold official evaluations. At Fremont Youth Soccer Club we intend to work with full integrity and with all clubs to enable continuity for teams across all clubs.

Previously known as ‘Tryouts’, the Fremont YSC Evaluations aim to select all players* to play in the Competitive Program.

Tryout
plural noun: tryouts
1. a test of the potential of someone or something, especially in the context of entertainment or sports

Fremont YSC Talent Identification and Team Selection will take away the pressure of testing, and will use a snapshot of the player’s current level of ability to place them in to pools/teams of similar ability, so the individuals within that group of players will have the best possible opportunity to grow. All players deserve the opportunity to practice, play, and progress, no matter what the current level of play may be. Talent Identification is a predication of future performance, no one can accurately predict the development pathway of any player, while not know how the maturation years will affect the player as a whole.

In consideration of maturation rates, all younger players are selected and assigned to teams based on their birth month. Through identification of players throughout the season, any player we feel needs to be challenged, will be invited to practice with another group that would meet their needs while still playing for their initial team based on birth month and year.

Players of all levels of ability are welcome to Talent ID and Team Selection event.

The Competitive Program is for players who want to develop not only their technical soccer ability, but to grow and develop important individual characteristics, this includes social skills, and psychological and physiological development. Fremont YSC coaching staff specifically focus on the development of the individual and create an environment where plays can be creative, play without fear, and develop an open mindset to learning.
