The following is a list of guidelines for Varsity level players that will be measured come tryouts on August 16th.
1) 75 consecutive touches of a ball juggling within 2 tries
2) A 72 (or Level 9- 1) on the Pacer Test
3) Hit a 2-3 yard wide target from 15 yards out 7/10 tries using only 2 touches starting with your back to the target. Videos of what this looks like here:
Tryouts Drill Outside of Foot Turn
Tryout Passing Drill Outside Foot Turn
While these are not official requirements of a varsity player , these are the things I believe it takes to make a meaningful contribution at the varsity level and are skills necessary to compete against good teams. Players should come into training ready to complete these tasks. I repeat, failure of any of these does not automatically prevent you from making Varsity. These are suggested guidelines if you wish to make an impact at that level of the game.
For those of you that have hit those already, field players at the STATE and COLLEGE level can do the following:
1) 200 consecutive juggling touches within 3 tries
2) A 90 (Level 10-7) on the Pacer Test
3) Hit those gates mentioned earlier 9/10 times with all three types of turns on both feet
