1.     Try – Out Criteria – All Levels

There are always high hopes for the Smithtown West Girls’ Soccer Program.  It will be very competitive during tryouts, for playing time, and for starting spots.  It is up to each and every individual as to how you will contribute and be a part of the success of the program. 

        WHAT THE COACHES ARE LOOKING FOR: All Levels

The following aspects of each individual player will be examined and identified during tryouts and the season.

1. Physical – Is the player fit and well conditioned?
2. Technical – Does the player have the ability to perform the basic techniques of soccer:  dribbling, passing and receiving, shooting, heading, defending, etc.?
3. Tactical – Does the player understand the game of soccer:  attacking and defending principles, combination play, positional understanding, field awareness, etc.?
4. Psychological – Does the player posses the mental aspects to succeed:  mental toughness, positive attitude, coachability, work ethic, etc.?

• Be sure to complete all required paperwork (this can be found at http://teacher2.smithtown.k12.ny.us/psmith/athletics.htm ). Be prepared to submit your physical examination slip on the first day of try-outs, August 31. No player will be permitted to try out with out completing and submitting the appropriate paperwork. Including the concussion  screening.
• You will be required to bring water, shin guards, cleats and running shoes. It is recommended that you bring anything else that you feel you may need: ex - extra water, stop watch, towel, extra socks, sun block etc. Better safe than sorry.
