Evaluation Process and Details

Any interested in joining the 2006 Caboto Juventus team for the 2018 season are required to attend player evaluations. The team is still in need of 2 players to complete its roster.

Coaches and Trainers will evaluate players in scoring or defending situations to see how they react and respond on the field. We want to observe players in situations where they have to use their skill and make quick decisions. Small-sided games are the best format to do this. The following criteria are considered when evaluating players for the team program:

Passion for the game

Technical ability – skills and technique

Tactical ability – field and space awareness, knowledge of game, sense of the game, vision, insight

Physical ability – speed, quickness, athleticism, size, coordination, fitness

Communication – visual and verbal, talks with fellow players constructively

Attitude – ‘coachability,’ work ethic, having fun, wants to be there, wants to learn, listens, encourages, focus, sportsmanship, teamwork

Decision-making ability, speed of play, composure under pressure, anticipation and soccer savvy movements (attacking and defending)
