Aurora's 2022-23 Indoor Evaluation Process & Times

Evaluation Process

*If you are unfamiliar with the process, please read all the information. To see scheduling, please scroll down.*

• You must be registered to attend evaluations.

• Each age division has a separate tryout time.   

U7D and U9D - Developmental Age Groups

• Evaluations will be done in a 2-round format.
• Evaluations are held strictly for the purpose of creating equal teams of equal skill level.  Therefore, attendance at evaluations is not necessary, but is an extremely valuable experience for when players move into U11.  
• Based on availability of fields and time, Aurora will do their best to hold a couple of practice sessions in the Pre-season before teams are finalized and before the season starts. This allows any players who have missed evaluations to be placed on a team, ensuring teams are equally created.
• All teams in these age-groups practice together. Practices are led by Aurora's Technical Director, Hassan Mowgli.  

U11-U19 - Alliance and City Groups

• Evaluations will be done in a 2-round format (U11 & U15-U19) and a 3-round format (U13 Only). This allows evaluators to fully evaluate the large number of players in these divisions.

• During evaluations, players may participate in small group drills as well as an on-field scrimmage. Parents may observe the evaluations however, they should not interact with the players or evaluators in any way.

• If a player is interested in goalkeeping, please notify staff at tryout check-in.

• Aurora Soccer Club policy is that all players register and attend evaluations in their proper age group, as well any bio-banding option.

*Please Note U11-U19*

• If wanting to attend evaluations. Only athletes with a valid conflict reason will be allowed to miss the initial evaluation or callback date. Please submit rationale by email to registrar@aurorasoccer.ca if you are unable to attend, and the club will attempt to accommodate.  

• Any players missing evaluations will not be placed until being looked at during the Pre-season training, by Aurora’s Technical. This will be during the first three weeks in September.

• Players wishing to be considered for Alliance A or Alliance B must attend evaluations.
• Players that wish to stay in the City league are still encouraged to attend tryouts. This will allow us to make city league teams as even as possible. 

Tryout Attire & Equipment

• Players are required to wear shin guards and soccer cleats (proper footwear).

• Players are not to wear wristbands, watches, jewelry or piercings of any kind.

• Please bring a water bottle.
