1. All athletes should be prepared to run a timed 2 mile run on the first day of tryouts. The target time for all prospective players should be 14 minutes. Athletes should also prepare by trying to do various sets of pushups and sit-ups (4 sets of 10 push-ups, 4 sets of 20-25 sit-ups would be good preparation).
2. Athletes should also be sure to be routinely touching a soccer ball (drills for dribbling, shooting, etc.). They will be assessed on their technical skill on the ball, tactical skills/in-game situations, fitness, and "coachability" (following directions for drills/during sessions, respect for teammates, maintaining a positive and productive practice environment).
