Tryout FAQs
I don't live in Park Ridge, can I still play for PRSC?
Yes.
What should my son/daughter wear/bring to tryouts?
All players should wear shin guards and athletic or soccer shoes and bring water and a soccer ball. Players should dress appropriately for the weather.
My son/daughter has a conflict with the tryout schedule, what should we do?
If it is not possible for you to attend the tryout scheduled for your age group, email our Travel Coordinator, Jestina Orlando (jorlando@prsoccer.com).
How do I find out if my son/daughter made a team?
Rosters are determined after our professional and licensed coaches, along with our Director of Soccer Operations, have had a chance to speak collectively and ensure decisions are made with diligence. You will receive an email when rosters are available.
What should I expect at the tryout?
Players will participate in ball control, speed, and finishing activities. They will also participate in small-sided (3v3-5v5) games. Our Director of Soccer Operations and our professional coaches will evaluate the players and place them on the team that is most appropriate for their development.
What do the coaches look for at the tryouts?
At younger ages (7-9 yrs old), coaches value effort, athleticism, and desire to learn. As players gain experience, we look for effort, athleticism, and desire to learn in combination with technical soccer ability and age-appropriate tactical understanding.
Are there tryouts for goalkeepers?
Yes. If you are interested in playing goalkeeper, please let our staff know at tryouts.
