All of the games are played

take part of State tournaments depending schedule
availability. But we do not travel for our league

I

or so.
If you do not have access to email, please call
us (or better yet…sign up for one of our free
accounts!!) |
| |
What
else can I do as a potential player? |
|
In order to compete in the
league, every player has to pass a player-evaluation
“test” which is conducted by the league.
This is a requirement. You cannot be signed onto
a team unless this has been successfully completed. |
| |
What
is the player evaluation? |
|
The MSI-Classic program looks
provide the appropriate competitive atmosphere where
players will excel and develop their soccer skills.
Thus the league has set a minimum level of aptitude
for the kids to complete consisting of an afternoon
practice where basic drills are conducted. Their
skills are evaluated and compared to the rest of
the cohort.

| What
is the criteria used under the player evaluation? |
| |
| |
Can
Toca Juniors help with the player evaluation? |
| The
evaluations are conducted by volunteer coaches and
we have no influence in the process. But if you
are interested in playing for us and are planning
on attending please let us know. We can offer details
on scheduling and other administrative issues. I
have attended the evaluation and have NOT completed
it successfully…
If you have a true love for the sport and would
really like to participate, we can sign you up as
a wild card player. If you work hard you may be
able to develop the skills necessary for to compete
in the league. |
| |
What
is a wild card player? |
Each
team has three wild cards, that is, three players
can be signed up that have not passed the player
evaluation. We intend to use these on players that
may have been away from the sport or we think that
can contribute significantly to the team in some
form. We don not intend to use them for players
that have simply avoided the evaluation. All players
should attend this session, they are very important
for the league and for us. |
| |
Do
I need medical clearing to participate? |
|
| |
When
is Toca Juniors holding tryouts? |
You should contact us directly
and we will let you know of times and dates as we
see them necessary. As we have not started holding
regular practices, we cannot provide a list of dates
and times. |
| |
How
often does Toca Juniors practice, and Which days? |
|
We will hold two practices
a week. The days of the week depend on the consensus
of the team and the coach. We normally recommend
Tuesdays and Thursdays, but it makes no sense to
hold a practice if most players cannot attend. We
are flexible. |
| |
Can
I meet the coaches? |
A
great way is to attend one of their games and see
them in action!! Check our website or send us an
email. You can chat with them after the game and
get a Costl for his voice and how he explains himself.
Remember, if you are going to join the club, you
will listen to that voice week in and week out!
