2020-2021 Travel Tryouts

Travel Tryouts

Soccer tryouts can be one of the most difficult challenges that youth athletes face, both physically and emotionally. We want to ensure that the players are managed appropriately during and after this process, to ensure that they remain positive, and the experience has been worthwhile.

It’s important to remember the positives in the tryout experience – and that these positives exist whether or not your young athlete makes the final cut. Tryouts are one of the many experiences in youth sports that prepare us for similar situations in our adult life, such as college applications, job interviews and more.

Virtual Tryouts

Initial team selection will occur virtually based on prior performance for current players and video review of new players.

Please keep in mind that due to the current conditions as a result of the COVID-19 and our inability to hold traditional tryouts at this time, your child’s current team placement will be evaluated once we are permitted to return to the field; therefore, players could change teams based on their evaluations.

Players that played for VYS in 2019-2020

-No current player will be denied a spot or moved to a lower team during the virtual team formation. Although some adjustments may be made to rosters once play resumes, the goal is to give every existing player a spot on a VYS team for the 2020-2021 season.
