Just noticed that concorde's DA tryouts are 4 days. (DA/ECNL/SCCL/NPL are all 4 days) -- makes for a long week.
Did they add June 3rd, or was it always on the schedule?
UFA's are just 3 days the 3rd, 4th, 5th.
Some of concorde's times are brutal - the u14s are 4-5:30, that is like the hottest part of the day -- but looks like the highs next week are in the high 80s vs like this week being in the 90s.
I have no dog in the fight, but really interested in how the 2005 DA tryout goes at concorde. You have to figure team is made up already, and their are just 1 or 2 spots up for grabs. (if even that)

At Concorde Fire U-15 tryouts you’ll see the best of CF 05s, the best of SSA 05s, plus released AU 05 players. Tough nut to crack but not impossible. UFA will be getting better as well, pulling in some DA 05s from other clubs to go along with a good core of players.
I would like to know how AU is going to get better. Their additions thus far that I’m aware of are not significant - maybe they’ll be better simply by playing their horses in the correct age group & addition by substraction. Certainly they’ll play the max 2 players down from their U17x stable and call it bio-banding (laugher). Who knows - nobody is as smart as little Ricky Gervais that runs the joint over there.

I was not impressed...at CF, the boys were immediately split into DA, ECNL, and everyone else. The coaches then paid very little attention to the everyone else group while the boys were melting on the crappy/muddy fields.
Am seriously thinking about dragging my son to UFA tomorrow. Anyone have an idea if the tryouts there are a bit more ‘democratic?’

UFA required no club apparel to be worn
But then the first question the coach asked was where did you play last year. LOL
However players were definitely in mixed groups throughout the training and not just by league or club
Coach pulled 4 or 5 off the field at the end to stay and talk to.

UFA gives kids a chance, but it’s always hard for a new unknown kid. |

The difference with UFA it’s just DA so not as many kids with all the different levels there. It’s just DA tryouts. Which is I guess good and bad. Bad part is some kids also have to try later at non DA tryouts.
But I think with them all - if you don’t get out with the right group it can be a challenge. Most of the coaches know where kids played last season and at one level and have scouted the age group well. But there is always new never seen kids showing up.

At CF 05 boys there were at least 120 present for just DA & ECNL. It looked like kids were cycling in 12 at a time and taking turns 6v6 against SSA DA players for the first half of tryouts while the others were scrimmaging small sided, then second half had about 40 working out on the DA field rotating 10v10, about 30 on the ECNL field, and the rest split off scrimmaging on other fields. I would expect a little movement is possible tomorrow and fewer in attendance. Some whittling down by the end of the session tomorrow, heavy cuts by end of Wednesday, and final 1-2 spots contested on each team on Thursday. Pretty standard tryout organization, but very competitive.

Any updates from those in attendance at the SSA(CF) alliance tryouts and the UFA tryouts? Are there spots for boys from other clubs?

So what would happen if someone lied and said they played DA level when they did not?

I agree. Most of the top teams are picked before tryouts. Coaches improve team with 1 or 2 players unless they were a complete dumpster fire then the coach may also change.

Are they pretty much decided also? If only 1-2 players are changing on the 1st team, would that mean the 2nd team is the same.. with only 1-2 players changing also? |

Teams are mostly picked because most of the same kids are coming back out. If the coach is looking to improve his team then he likely has a group of starters that will likely make the team and then areas that he/she would like to improve. On a 16-18 player roster I would expect 4-6 possible changes. If the team was really good maybe fewer, if bad maybe more.
Of course at u15 things are a little wilder as the number of DA teams drops from 7-3 and players push down.
Last year we had a better than average team but still wound up adding 6 players (through players leaving or player dropping to the second team). Of those 6, two came from our second team and three came in from other clubs and 1 was playing club soccer for the first time. This year our team was very good but will still probably have 2-4 spots that may change.
Our second team probably has a little more fluctuation as some players may move up, some drop soccer completely and others look at other clubs to try to move up. Not sure there is a standard, rather it changes from club to club and team to team.
