Evaluating Player Skill: Locker Soccer Academy's Fair and Transparent Approach
No Tryouts, Just Observation
Unlike many youth soccer clubs, Locker Soccer Academy doesn’t hold traditional tryouts for our younger age groups. Instead, we believe in a more holistic approach that focuses on observing each child’s skills and potential within the context of our programs and classes.
Our experienced coaches carefully assess each player’s:- Technical Skills: Dribbling, passing, shooting, receiving, and ball control.
- Tactical Understanding: Decision-making, positioning, and awareness.
- Physical Attributes: Speed, agility, coordination, balance.
- Social and Emotional Maturity: Teamwork, communication, and sportsmanship.
Open Communication with Parents
We understand that parents play a vital role in their child’s soccer journey. That’s why we prioritize open and transparent communication throughout the evaluation process. We encourage parents to ask questions, share their observations, and discuss any concerns they may have.
We also provide regular feedback to parents about their child’s progress and development, both formally and informally. This helps parents understand their child’s strengths and areas for improvement, and ensures that they are involved in the decision-making process regarding team placement.Creating the Right Fit
Our goal is to place each child on a team where they will be challenged but not overwhelmed, and where they can play with teammates who are at a similar stage of development. We believe that this approach fosters a positive and supportive environment where children can grow in confidence and skill, while also having fun and enjoying the game.
We also offer a variety of programs for different ages and skill levels, ensuring that every child can find the right fit at Locker Soccer Academy.The Locker Soccer Academy Difference
