Boynton United FC Player Evaluation (Tryouts) Information
Boynton United FC conducts official tryouts once a year for players interested in joining the Competitive Travel program. However, players who wish to register for Boynton United FC during the season can attend an open training session to be evaluated by the coach for a spot on a travel team. Interested players can contact us for specific times and dates for their age group. Additionally, periodic "Open Tryouts" will be held by BUFC to expand our academy by recruiting new players. This is aimed at enhancing the performance of our existing teams or establishing new age groups.
Tryout Process• All players will attend Tryouts based on their Birth Year.
• Online Registration is required for all current or aspiring players wishing to attend tryouts: click Register Now• Each tryout session will last for about an hour and a half
• Tryouts/Player Evaluations are FREE
• A Parent must accompany the player to the 1st tryout session in order to sign the registration documents
• We recommend attending at least 3 tryout sessions
If you are unable to attend Tryouts but still want to be considered for team selection, you must still register for the tryouts. However, it is important to inform the Club beforehand that you won't be able to make it to the scheduled tryout period. This will allow the Club to set an alternative date for evaluating your skills and abilities.
When evaluating players during the season or at the tryout/player evaluation sessions, the Technical Staff evaluates each player in four different areas:
• Technical - Individual ball mastery (skills).
• Tactical - The ability to make decisions on and off the ball.
• Physical - Measure the speed, strength and agility standards of the player (abilities) and
• Mental - the competitive psychological traits of the player or competitive nature of the player
In the Technical, Tactical, and Physical areas players are evaluated on the speed to which they can execute skill with success, decide when and what to do and their movement around the field. In the Mental area or psychological competitiveness, players are evaluated on their competitive toughness such as will to win, work rate and willingness to learn.
Therefore we strongly recommend that players, returning and aspiring, attend as many of the tryout sessions as possible to give themselves the best opportunity to be evaluated.
