• Evaluations are only for U9 and older players.
• Note that we use the word "evaluation" and not "tryout".  The goal is to find an appropriate team for every player when possible.
• Details on how teams are organized can be found in the SSC Standing Rules sections C, D, E, and F. 
• All teams are dissolved at the end of the spring to allow for fair consideration of all players for all fall teams. 
• Teams are generally organized so that children of equal skill are on the same team.  This allows for every child to grow at the appropriate pace. 
• You MUST attend the evaluation for your age group in order to be considered for the primary team in the age group.  If a team doesn't exist in your age group, you should attend the assessment for the age group above.
• At evaluations, coaches and evaluators, both affiliated and not affiliated with  the team, will rank all players.  The general criteria evaluators are looking for can be found here. 
• The coach will choose players based primarily on all the rankings.  A player who is "playing up" an age group from their natural age must be ranked in the top 8 at assessments to play up.  The SSC executive board has the final say on team composition. 
• If numbers permit, a secondary team will be created in an age group and/or age groups may be combined to form a team. 
• Parents should feel free to ask a member of the SSC executive board for clarification regarding the team organization process.  Our goal is to make this process as transparent as possible. 
• If you own a SSC uniform jersey, wear it to evaluations.  If you don't own a SSC jersey, wear another shirt with a number on it.
