Please read below for the 2021-2022 Tryout and Re-Registration process for Nebraska Roots SC (EAA Soccer's Select soccer program).
10U Players (2012 birth years):
- We will form one boys select team and one girls select team for this age group.
- Any player that is not selected for the Roots SC team is welcome to continue in or join our Hive Academy 10U program instead.
11U-19U Players (2011-2003 birth years):
- Players trying out for these age groups can be selected for a Roots I or Roots II team.
- Players MUST tryout in their own birth year.
- If a player is not selected for a team, they are welcome and encouraged to join our EAA Soccer Futures program - our recreational program for 11U-19U players.
Tryouts - What to Expect:
The coaches assigned to each age group will work together to train and evaluate all of the players who attend. The tryout sessions conducted by our staff will be similar to those they will normally run with their teams so players can get a feel for the style of training and coaching that will take place in our club.
The coaches will evaluate the players using the following criteria:
1. Technical (dribbling, passing, receiving, shooting/finishing and individual defending)
2. Tactical (reading the game, teammates, opponents, space; ability to make proper decisions during the run of play; quickly solving problems the game presents)
3. Psychological (mental toughness, competitiveness, focus, composure, work ethic)
4. Physical (speed, athleticism, fitness, strength)
The coaches will also make selections based on how they feel players will fit into the team/club culture. They will also consider each player’s potential to develop under their coaching.
