Should my player attend all tryout sessions?
Yes, we would like to see players at as many tryouts as possible. The more sessions your player attends, the better feel we can get for that player. Players must participate in tryouts to be eligible for a team. Special exceptions may be made for players with serious scheduling conflicts, provided the following:
- The player pre-registered for tryouts online
- The DOC was given prior notification of the conflicting schedule
How Will Players Be Evaluated?
Soccer is a player’s game. It is a game where a player’s value is determined by how he/she impacts the game. Dallas Texans Florida Coaches are trained to know what characteristics are important in determining the potential of a player. Coaches will ask players to perform agility and acceleration exercises to test athleticism. You will see small group exercises so we can watch the player get multiple touches with the ball as we check for technical speed and speed of thought. Finally, you will see the kids play as we look for not only the impact they make on the game but how they make that impact.
Tryouts will be conducted by professional coaches chosen by the DOC. Parents, managers, and/or board members will not be involved in the evaluation process of any player.
Who determines which players are selected to the team?
Team selections are made by the individual team coach(s) and approved by the DOC.
How many players will be on a team?
Roster sizes will be determined by each coach, along with the DOC, and take into consideration the need for a sufficient number of subs, yet not exceed FYSA roster limits.
Will some players be “cut” or does everybody make a team?
The goal will be to form the most competitive team(s) in each age division for both girls and boys. Unfortunately, this means that at times players will have to be cut. If at all possible, we will seek to form multiple leveled teams. The highest level team will be known as the Dallas Texans Florida. The 2nd level team will be known as Dallas Texans Florida Red, followed by Dallas Texans Florida White. Regardless of the level of team a player is on, we can assure you that by the end of the playing season, you will see a remarkable difference in his/her playing ability.
What do I bring to tryouts?
Players should bring their pre-registration form, shin guards, cleats, a ball, and water.
What happens after that?
Once rosters are decided, players will be asked to attend a special “signing day” to collect registration materials (including the registration fee of $175), perform uniform sizing and meet fellow players & coaches). This year's signing day will be held at Will Call Sports Grill at 22 Palafox Place in Pensacola at 1:00 PM. The is a perfect opportunity to gather all club members and cheer on the USA as they battle England in the FIFA World Cup. The club is giving away prizes to the players that participate.
