About Tryouts
Tryouts are open to all players without requiring a commitment until team selections are finalized. Our goal is to provide every player with an opportunity to compete at the club level based on their abilities. If selected, ALBION SC Southern Minnesota strives to create an optimal long-term development environment.
We also believe financial constraints should not be a barrier to playing competitive soccer. Financial assistance may be available for families that qualify.
Player Development & Team Placement
We recognize that players aim to be on “the best team.” However, we emphasize finding “the best team for your player right now.” Development is a journey, and our structured pathways allow for movement between play levels based on progress and commitment.
Important Note: Players must attend tryouts for their birth year (e.g., if born in 2007 but played for the 2006 team last year, they must attend the 2007 tryout session). While play-up opportunities exist, baseline evaluations ensure the right individuals are selected for advancement.
Team Formation Process
The Directors of Coaching, with input from Age Group Coordinators and team coaches, lead the player placement process. Evaluations consider winter training observations, in-season performance, and tryout results. While every effort is made to place players on a competitive team, roster sizes and the number of players in each age group may impact selection.
Key Tryout Policies:
- Players must register in advance to be considered for a team—no exceptions.
- Registering for tryouts does not bind you to the club; commitment occurs only after selection and payment of the Commitment Fee.
- Due to the team nature of tryout sessions, no makeup sessions will be offered.
We encourage players, parents, and coaches to embrace each season as a chance for growth—both on and off the field. One year of soccer can shape progress, but it does not define a player’s future.
We look forward to welcoming all athletes to the field and evaluating their potential to be part of our program!
