DASC 2024/25 Tryouts

All players who want to play Travel soccer must register and participate in Travel Tryouts. At the Tryouts, all players are scored in the criteria outlined in the DASC Tryout Manual.

At the end of the tryouts, all coaches will submit their scoresheets. The Director of Player Development will collate the scores from all scoresheets for the selection meeting. The Head coach scoresheet will be used to rank the players for each team, and other assessors’ rankings can be used to place players during the selection meeting.

The Selection Meeting is the process by which all Travel teams are formed. Members of the selection meeting are;

1. Registrar

2. Vice President

3. Director of Player Development

4. The Head Coach of the team that is being formed

   *Other coaches may attend for input.

The Registrar will advocate for placing the appropriate amount players in each team and the Travel program.

The VP will oversee the selection process and ensure the standing rules are followed.

The Head Coach will advocate for fielding the most competitive Travel team and can use a GK pick or players save for players not in the selected teams based on rankings.

The Director of Player Development will facilitate the selection process and may recommend an exception to Standing Rules if it’s for the benefit of team composition and/or player development.

All selection committee members will have access to scoring information. The members will propose a roster number for the team, and the players ranked within the team will be offered a spot. The highest-ranking team from each age group will be assigned players first. The Members will also discuss contingency plans if players decline their spots.

Coaches may seek verbal agreements from players before electronic invitations are sent out. Electronic invitations expire after 72 Hours, and DASC may offer the spot to another player.

*All players will be notified if they make or do not make a Travel team. Players that are not placed in Travel aged U9 - U13 will be placed on a team in the Recreation program.
