Team Placement Policy and Criteria:
Team placement starts on Friday August 10th and will last 4 days. A total of 8 practices over 4 days will be used to evaluate each player based on the following pillars of Soccer:
Character, Technical Skill, Tactical Skill, Speed, Fitness, Toughness, & Coachability
Each player will receive a score of 0 – 10 for each area by each coach. The players will be evaluated based on how they perform in each area compared to the other players combined with the best accepted soccer standard for each area. The scores will be added and averaged, and coaches will discuss each players attribute to determine which players will be placed on Varsity and which will be JV/Froshmore. The JV/Froshmore team will practice together and the coach will name a Junior Varsity Team and Froshmore team before the first match. This placement may change throughout the season even game by game based on performance and character. Varsity placement will not change; however, the coach may move a player up from JV/Froshmore team at any point in the season.
