Mastering The Art Of Tryouts

Tips For Existing Rush Players

Attention Fremont Rush Players! Tryouts season is coming up, and it's important to start thinking about your goals and expectations for the upcoming season. As an existing player, you already have some advantages, such as knowing the coaches, the playing style, and the club culture. But don't take anything for granted, tryouts are a great opportunity to showcase your skills and prove to the coaches that you deserve to be on the team.

The first step in preparing for tryouts is to set clear and realistic goals. Think about what you want to achieve this tryout season and what you need to work on to get there. Are you looking to improve your technical skills, your fitness, your decision-making, or your leadership abilities? Setting specific and measurable goals will help you focus your efforts and track your progress throughout the season.

Next, it's important to manage your expectations. Remember that tryouts are not just about individual skills, but also about how you fit into the team and how you contribute to its success. The coaches will be looking for players who are coachable, committed, and willing to work hard for the team. They will also be looking for players who are good teammates and can communicate effectively on the field.

To prepare for tryouts, make sure you are in good physical condition and are practicing your skills regularly. Attend any optional training sessions or camps that the club offers to improve your skills and get feedback from the coaches. You can also watch videos of professional players and try to emulate their moves and techniques.

On the day of tryouts, arrive early, well-rested, and well-fed. Bring all the necessary equipment, including extra water, shin guards, and a ball. Dress appropriately in our club's Rush x Capelli training uniform and make sure your uniform is clean and in good condition.

During tryouts, give your best effort and focus on playing your game. Be confident, but not arrogant, and show respect to your teammates, coaches, and opponents. Remember to communicate on the field, both verbally and non-verbally, and support your teammates. Stay positive and don't let mistakes or setbacks discourage you.

Finally, after tryouts, be patient and wait for the coaches' decision. Remember that tryouts are just one part of the evaluation process, and the coaches will be looking at your performance over the entire season. Use the experience as an opportunity to learn and grow as a player and as a person. Keep working hard, stay positive, and enjoy the beautiful game of soccer! Go Rush!
