Tryout Philosophy
- New York Red Bulls Training Programs believe simplicity and realism to the game itself are the most effective ways of assessing the skill level of a player.
- Simple organization creates an environment for a fair and accurate assessment of technical and tactical ability. Players and assessors are not confused with different activities or rotations; therefore more time is spent playing.
- Small-sided games with variable conditions are utilized to create specific attacking and defending situations. This allows for increased ball contact and increased instances to assess each player individually.
- Players are assessed in relation to the average ability level of the tryout group. This will precipitate more accurate and reliable results, as the goal of the tryout is to identify the most competent players within the group.
- The tryout process can cater to 1 team or 20 teams. Typically each tryout session lasts for 90 minutes, including set up and explanation. The exact format can be tailored to meet the host organizations requirements.
