Dear prospective player, Allegany Soccer Alliance will be holding tryouts for their club soccer teams on November 15th, 2015 and November 22nd, 2015. It is recommended that players attend both tryout dates but they are only required to attend one. The two tryouts will allow the coaches and evaluators a second opportunity to effectively analyze the talent of the individual. Tryout times, on both days, for each age are as follows: - U18 Boys (born August 1, 1997 or later): - 8:00am – 9:30am U16 Boys (born August 1, 1999 or later): - 9:45am – 11:15am U14 Boys (born August 1, 2001 or later): - 11:30am – 1:00pm U12 Boys (born August 1, 2003 or later): - 1:15pm – 2:45pm U10 Boys (born August 1, 2005 or later): - 3:00pm – 4:30pm 14-18 Year Old Girls (born 8/1/97 – 7/31/02): - 4:45pm – 6:15pm We are requesting that players attend the appropriate age group tryout per their birth date. If an individual is close to the age cut-off and would like the opportunity to make the team and play at the older level, they will be able to attend both age group tryouts. Players must attend the tryout for their actual age group. We will handle such situations on a player by player basis. Please plan on arriving to the tryout 15-30 minutes early to allow for plenty of time to fill in the necessary paperwork and begin getting warmed up. Please come to the FSU Cordts Center (Gym) lower level lobby to handle paperwork, receive tryout shirt, and be directed where to go. There are two links below which require your attention before tryouts. These are the ‘FSU Release Form’ and ‘PreRegistration’ which are required. Minimally, please make sure all signatures/medical information are complete before the tryout. If you cannot complete the Pre-Registration, it can be done on-site before the tryout, but completing the process online will expedite the process. Please make sure to fill out all of the information on the Pre-Registration form. You may have to copy and paste the links into your browser’s (e.g. Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, etc.) address bar. FSU Release Form: http://www.AlleganySoccerAlliance.com/FSUReleaseForm.pdf Pre-Registration: http://www.AlleganySoccerAlliance.com/PreRegistration.htm The tryouts will be taking place on Frostburg State University’s turf (the Auxiliary Gym in the PE center will act as a backup if weather conditions are not conducive to being outside). Players are required to be properly equipped for the tryout: each player should bring outdoor soccer spikes, indoor soccer shoes, shinguards, and clothing appropriate to be outside or inside. All individuals participating in the tryout are also requested to bring water and a soccer ball for their personal use. The final item that the players must bring is $10 to cover the cost of a tryout t-shirt. The shirt will have a number on the back that will enable all coaches and evaluators to differentiate the players. The players will then keep the shirt following the tryouts. Numbers will be dispersed based on size and order of arrival rather than player preference. If you have any specific questions, feel free to email/call Adam Sommers at asommers@AlleganySoccerAlliance.com or (443)-977-0630. Thank you for your interest! We look forward to seeing you at the tryouts! Adam Sommers Mark Deckers Club President Club Vice President Allegany Soccer Alliance Allegany Soccer Alliance
