* Players should be attired as they would be for a practice and/or game with a water bottle.

* We highly recommend attending both tryouts.

* Venue: players will be evaluated in basic soccer skills (running, dribbling, passing, etc.) as well as competitive play (small and/or large sided games).

* Players will be evaluated by independent paid evaluators who do not know the participants, have not trained or will train them in the future.

* We recommend you read the essay http://hubsoccer.org/SoccerPrograms.php to learn more about travel soccer as it is a competitive program requiring more time and commitment than recreation soccer.
