CLUB TRYOUTS PHILOSOPHY

Tryouts

Magic is committed to providing youth players the opportunity to play at an appropriate age and skill level through annual open tryouts. Players will be given the opportunity each season to move to another team within the organization in order to place players in the best situation in which to grow and develop. While this will make the club more competitive, it is in player development that this seems to make the most sense.

Opportunity

By holding open tryouts, SCV Magic will give players a chance to move up to a team playing in a higher bracket, as well as a chance to move to a team playing at a lower bracket. We feel that ALL players should be provided this opportunity, and open tryouts give players the means in which to move to another team.

Proper Player Development

Proper player development comes not only with proper training, but with being in an environment that allows the player sufficient playing time. By placing a player on the appropriate team that reflects the players skill level, this will speed up skill development, as well as decision making and confidence, by allowing for more time on the field in actual game situations.

Age Appropriate

Players will be encouraged to play at their own age level, providing we have a team available. Skills and social development are best achieved for a player playing within their own age group. Exceptions could be made if:

  • No team is available at players age group
  • Player is of exceptional ability and playing up will be most beneficial to players development

Reasons for age appropriate play include, but are not limited to:

  • Social - Player development is accelerated in environments that are more socially compatible
  • Physical - Especially at the younger ages, motor development, decision making, physical attributes, etc., are areas where playing with similar players is key to development.

In most cases, U8 players playing on a U9 team will be moved to an age appropriate team after State Cup of players’ first season.

Conclusion

While SCV Magic recognizes that open tryouts, along with potential player movement, is not a popular proposition to some, it is important to understand that this policy is not an effort to create “winning” teams, but rather provide each and every player within our organization an opportunity to play at a level that gives the player the best chance to become a more skilled and confident athlete. We realize that moving from a higher bracketed team to a lower bracketed team may seem like a move backward, but such changes are made in an effort to provide a player with the best situation in which to grow and develop. Each player will have a chance to move to a higher or lower bracketed team each year.
