FCFC Player Placements FAQ

​

1. What is the player placement format?

​

All players in a respective age group will tryout together. Players will participate in several skill related activities followed by small sided games and scrimmages. You will need to check in around 15 minutes before each of your sessions and you will be given a sticker with a number. Field players will put this on the front right-hand side of their shirt, goalkeepers on their backs. 

​

​

Ideally yes. The more the coaching staff can evaluate your child's ability the more likely they are to assign them to the correct team.

 

3. Can I try out for an older age group?

​

You must initially attend your age appropriate session and then if the coach advises, you may try out for an older age group. The decision regarding your placement is made by the coaching staff.

Teams play in the highest leagues and attend tournaments both in and out of state. This division requires the highest level of commitment from both the player and parent.

 6. What is the White team?

​

This is for players who have the desire and commitment to play at a highly competitive level but have not been identified as a Red team player. Players will train with the assigned coaching staff and have an opportunity to be moved to the Red team if the coaches feel that it is in the best interest of the player.

​

Players will train with the assigned coaching staff and have an opportunity to be moved to the White team if the coaches feel that it is in the best interest of the player. Typically, the Black team is comprised of first year competitive players.

​

 8. How will I learn the outcome of player placements?

​

Decisions on player placement will primarily be decided during tryouts. The Coach and/or Team Manager will give you a placement slip where you can then go to the office room and accept your place on the team.  There are rare occasions whereby a decision cannot be made during the event, in this instance, you will be notified within 48hrs of the last day of your session. 

​

9. I have been identified for a team and wish to accept, what do I do?

​

After you have been identified by the coaching staff you will be directed to pay your $50 non-refundable deposit.  This non-refundable deposit will be applied towards the cost of your registration and subsequent club fees. Credit cards, checks and cash will be accepted at the fields during tryouts.

Your Coach or Team Manager will then provide additional information for player registration and payment. Once initial payment has been made, this will secure your place on the team for the upcoming season.
