Supplemental Tryout Information
Ellicott CiTY Soccer Club Supplemental Tryout Information
The 2020 Ellicott CiTY SC supplemental tryout process will enable us to evaluate both current CiTY players and new players to the club and place them on an appropriate CiTY team. All current CiTY players will need to attend the supplemental tryout for their age group in order to be evaluated by the age group coaching staff. Age group coaches will use the supplemental tryout process to determine team placement.
For players new to CiTY, supplemental tryouts are your initial opportunity for our coaching staff to assess your ability and possibly offer you a roster spot on one of our travel teams. It is imperative players attend as many tryouts as possible so the coaching staff can evaluate your development to determine your prospective selection to one of our travel teams.
For this season’s supplemental tryout process, one or multiple supplemental tryouts may be held for each age group depending on field availability, available dates and age group needs. All players are strongly encouraged to attend all supplemental tryout sessions if possible.
Tryout process & instructions:
Players are only required to attend 1 supplemental tryout session to be selected to a team. Players are strongly encouraged to attend all scheduled supplemental tryout sessions if multiple sessions are scheduled. Any conflicts or absences should be communicated to age group coaches so alternative tryout options can be made if necessary.
ALL PLAYERS MUST ATTEND TRYOUTS FOR THEIR BIRTH YEAR. Age group coaches and technical staff will determine through the evaluation process if a player should be considered to play up an age group. CiTY players currently playing up an age group must inform their current CiTY coach that they will be attending tryouts for that specific age group.
Register on the website. Please arrive approximately 30 minutes early for check-in. Please wear soccer cleats, shin guards and bring water and a soccer ball to each tryout session.
Players will be evaluated by age group coaches and assessors during each tryout session. Make sure your contact information is accurate and verify the information at the tryout registration table when you check-in.
Offers can and will be made to players after the first night of tryouts, either by email or verbally or both. Please note that all players will not receive an offer after the first night of tryouts. Once you receive an offer email from the club (Ellicott City SC), follow the instructions in the email to the online acceptance process. Parents need to complete the online team registration within 24 hours of receiving the email offer to secure the player's position on the team. Team registration includes making an initial payment of club dues and fees. Our coaches will make every effort to finalize the selection process within 48 hours after the last tryout for their age group is complete.
