This is an interesting article on yahoo about the cutting process in high school athletics. I know this is a process we all hate. Perhaps some of you would like to share ways to help make this process more successful for coaches and players.

Interesting article T. We at The Great Summerville have a system to select players. We list several criteria such as: fitness, speed, first touch, passing/vision, finishing, defending, attitude, etc.) We then rate each candidate from 1-5 for each criterion and they each receive a raw score in the end that helps make the final selection. It also helps give feedback for those who didn’t make the final roster. I’ll be glad to e-mail our form if anyone would like to see it.

Wait.... y'all have enough players that you have to cut someone? Now that would be an interesting pickle to be in.

i would like to see the form. email me at ffxtidus1221@yahoo.com

tryout criteria

Here is a question for you coaches out there....how many days do you typically take for tryouts? And what are your normal things (drills, endurance, ect...) that you do during your tryouts?
