LYSC Travel Team Tryouts:
Travel Tryout Online Registration CLOSED for the 2023/24 season.
Tryouts are typically held in late April or early May. Lititz Youth Soccer Club is committed to having our players play at the highest level of soccer the players are capable of. It is the goal of the Travel Team tryouts to select the best players for our Travel Teams. The club is interested in serious soccer players who are dedicated to the sport and committed to excellence.
- Online Player Registration
- There is no cost to participate in tryouts
- Players that have not registered in advance must complete a Travel Team Tryout Registration Form PDF for each when they arrive.
- 3-5 evaluators will evaluate the players. The evaluators have been carefully selected based on their coaching knowledge and soccer experience. The evaluators’ assessment of players is solely used for player selection.
- It is the goal of LYSC to notify the participants of tryout results within 7 days of the Age Group last tryout date.
- Corresponding ranges of birth dates for each level are listed in the tryout schedule.
- All Players need to bring a ball and water
- Players should arrive 30 minutes early to check in.
- Independent evaluators and coaches will be used in the evaluation process.
Please direct any question to Andy Fries, President@lysc.org
The Tryout Assessment:
- Players are assessed on ball control and dribbling skills
- Accuracy of passing at different ranges
- Off the ball movement and work
- Defensive skills
- Shooting
- Teamwork
- Coachability
Players should practice at home to increase their chances of success at tryouts.
Team Selection Process:
Teams will be formed for each age group as determined by the number of qualified players available. Teams will be chosen based on skill level, fitness, and intangibles like effort and positive attitude. There is no guarantee that a second or third team will be formed. If multiple teams are formed for an age category, the travel selection committee will determine the best team format (equal strength v. graded teams.)
Player selection will be determined through a combination of tryout results and coach recommendations. Accepted players will be notified as soon as possible after the end of tryouts. Please remember that having previously played for a team does not guarantee a spot on a team for the next season.
Club Play Up Policy:
*We believe players U9 to U12 develop better at their age appropriate level than at an age level above. The club recognizes that some talented players may be ready to be considered for the next age level within the club’s competitive team structure. Players between the U12 and U16 age group are required to attend the first tryout within their respective age group. Players between the U12 and U16 age group attempting to “play up” may attend the second tryout with the subsequent age group. U17 and U18 players will attend tryouts as a combined group, but will be separated in post evaluations to determine roster placements.
*All LYSC travel team Head Coaches have a coaching license in order to coach at the travel team level. In addition most also have many years of coaching experience as assistant and head coaches.
