What happens at tryouts?
Cook Inlet Soccer Club holds two tryout sessions per year, typically in September for the fall and winter season and again in March for the spring and summer season. The tryouts are an opportunity for the players to demonstrate their individual and team skills, knowledge, energy and attitude in fitness or soccer activities and scrimmages.
Our competitive teams are formed through a player tryout process. Each player is assigned a numbered tryout bib or jersey to be worn at each tryout session. Players will be identified by that unique jersey number during the course of the tryout. Players are directed in activities, scrimmages, and speed and agility exercises during the tryout time (expect that there will be some periods of inactivity of players). Coaching Directors, Competitive Coaches, and Age Group Directors will base their selections on player skill and athletic ability demonstrated during the tryouts. Players will receive notification of their tryout results after the conclusion of the last tryout session. Results may be posted on the club website by unique number, typically however contact is made directly parents or player via telephone.
