Select Team Tryout and Selection PolicyU10 A,B,C Select Teams Objective MTOC, Nashoba Cup and U10 A,B,C teams Player Eligibility MTOC, Nashoba Cup and U10 ABC team coaches Tryouts A standardized, scored tryout will be conducted at each age/sex grouping. Tryouts will be held once a year, during the spring season for play in the upcoming fall season and following year's spring season.
There will be two scheduled tryout dates for each age/sex grouping, allowing as many players as possible the opportunity to tryout. Players are encouraged to attend both tryout dates to ensure their soccer ability is accurately assessed and to give the coaches as much information as possible during the selection process.
All Tryouts will be observed scrimmages.
A player must attend one tryout date for their respective age/sex grouping, to be eligible to play for any select team in that age/sex grouping. It is understood that all players are trying out for the MTOC or U10 A select team for their age/sex group and will participate on that team if selected.
NYSA supports the playing up policies as outlined by higher authority organizations such as United States Soccer Federation, United States Youth Soccer Association, and MYSA.
Players should bring plenty of water and are required to wear cleats and shinguards.
Evaluation Process Any person applying for a coaching position cannot evaluate the players for that age/sex group. They are permitted to observe the tryouts and make notes on the players for their own use in the event they are selected to coach. Additionally, evaluators cannot evaluate within an age/sex group for which they have a child eligible to play, even if the child is not attending the tryouts.
After the tryouts and evaluations, the select team coordinator shall collect and tabulate all scores. The calculations will be reviewed and verified by at least two other individuals. All scores will be kept confidential.
Evaluators score players on a scale from 1 to 6 in four categories (1 being the best)
U10 Rating:
An average score is calculated for each player.
The Select Team Coach is restricted to choose from players sorted by final score. The total number of players the coach can choose from are:
In addition, the highest performing players based on their final score are automatically placed on the Select Team. The number of automatically placed players are:
In the event of a tie, the size of the coach selection pool or the automatic player pool, will be adjusted to include the tied players.
The MTOC and U10 A select teams select first. The process is repeated with the remaining players for selection of the Nashoba Cup and U10 B select teams.
All players will be notified of their selection within three days of the MTOC finals. A player selected will have ten days to accept or decline the select team offered. The parents/players should be aware that the select team commitment is for both Fall and Spring seasons. The player is expected to fully support the team by attending two practices a week as scheduled by the coach. The only exception to this would be practices with a higher team as delineated by the player's priorities that has been adopted by MYSA and all the leagues affiliated with MYSA.
If any selected player declines to play on the offered select team, that team's coach shall have ten days to fill that position with any other eligible player. If any selected player declines to play on the offered select team, in either the fall or spring season, that player will not be eligible to play for any other select team in that season.
Spring Season The automatically selected players that participated in the fall season remain automatic selections, for the same age/sex grouping, for the spring season. The MTOC, Nashoba Cup and U10 A, B, & C select team coaches may change their coach's selected players for the spring season. All new selections by the coach must meet the player eligibility requirements as outlined in the fall season.
Any player dropped from a select team, except those dropped for disciplinary or attendance reasons will be placed on the next lower select team. Any MTOC or U10 A select team player dropped will be placed on the Nashoba Cup or U10 B select team. Any Nashoba Cup player dropped from the team will be offered to play on an NYSA (NVYSL-affiliated) recreational team in the same age/sex grouping. Any U10 B select team player dropped will be offered to play on the U10 C select team, and any U10 C select team player dropped will be offered to play on an NYSA (NVYSL-affiliated) recreational team in the U10 age/sex grouping.
An MTOC, Nashoba Cup or U10 A, B, or C select team coach may only drop an automatically selected player for disciplinary or attendance issues, and only after discussions with the select team coordinator and the NYSA Executive Board of Directors. The coach will notify any player, being dropped from a select team, before December 15th.
Only newly selected players will be notified in writing, which will be done on or before January 15th. Those players will have until January 30th to accept or decline the select team position offered. All select team players must be registered with NYSA prior to participating in games or practices for the spring season.
