Please read prior to filling out the registration form.  

All players are broken down into different age groups and possible separate boys and girls team based on the number of players that sign up.  Please note that sometimes we will combine 2 age groups to form a team.  This is not uncommon and we will try to keep the age groups within the Division structure of Mid New Jersey Youth Soccer.  

In the case where there are enough players to form 2 teams, teams will be formed based on skill level.  An "A" team or higher flighted team will be formed in addition to a "B" team or lower flighted team.  The MTSC is committed to forming appropriate teams for all children to play, learn, and enjoy the game of soccer. 

Try-Outs: 

1.    All MTSC teams are formed every full year.  U8-U14 form for the fall season, and U15-U19 will typically form in October / November so they can play in the winter. 

2.    Players are not guaranteed a roster spot if they were on a previous team and are required to try out every year. 

3.    Travel Try Outs will be held on Wed 5/28 and Thurs 5/29. 

• U8, U10, U12 (Boys and Girls) Check in at 5:30PM; Tryouts 6-7PM 
• U9, U11, U13/14 (Boys and Girls) Check in at 6:45PM; Tryouts 7:15PM - 8:15PM
• There will be a goalie try out as well and the date will be posted shortly.  Please note all potential goalies are required to attend other try out dates.

4.    Rain Dates Wed 6/4, Thurs 6/5 - Same Times

5.    Players must attend at least both sessions unless other arrangements have been made.

6.     PLAYING “UP”:  Any prospective player wishing to try out for an older age team is considered as playing “up”.  In all cases, these players must attend at least 1 age-appropriate session and 2 with the higher aged group.  In addition, the player must be ranked in the top three of the highest flighted team in the older age group to be considered for the team in the older age group.  If these conditions are not met, the player will only be considered for an age appropriate team.  Each age grading will be kept separate from the other and not averaged across age groups.  This will help ensure that they are being graded with correct age levels.

7.    The players will play small sided games with no goalies.  The small side games will try to be broken down into 5v5 or 6v6 to ensure that the players get the appropriate touches to be graded on. 

 

 

8.    Players – Please DO NOT wear your MTSC issued travel uniforms. 

9.    Parents are asked to stand on the sidelines and allow the kids to play.  Please do not coach from the sidelines. 

10. The players will be graded on the following 2 categories: 

• Technical Ability 
• Tactical Ability

11. Each player will receive a score of 1-5 in each Category. 5 is excellent; 4 is very good; 3 is good; 2 fair, and 1 is poor.  Players’ scores will be averaged out by all of the assessors and ranked appropriately.

12. REGISTRATION:  In order to facilitate the try-out procedures, all players must register online for tryouts.  This will help expedite the check-in process on the day of try-outs.   All pre-registered players will check-in the day of try-outs where they will receive a pre-assigned number that they are to wear on the back of their shirts.  In addition, the players are to keep this number for all of the sessions that they attend.  The player is responsible for bringing the number back for each day of try-outs.
