Skills Assessment

Who goes to the skills assessment?
All players interested in playing at a more competitive level are encouraged to attend a skills assessment to show off their skills. Attendance at the skills assessment is ONLY required for placement on Competitive teams; skills assessment is NOT required for Recreational teams, which constitute 90% of the teams in CSA.

Parents should stay at Tom Brown Park for the duration of their child's session.

Schedule
The skills assessment is held during the Jamboree at Tom Brown Park. Check this website for specific dates.

What can we expect at the skills assessment?
The skills assessment format usually includes a warm-up, a few drills, some small-sided games, and a full-field scrimmage. A single skills assessment may last two hours. Plenty of opportunities for players to show off their soccer skills.

What should we wear to the skills assessment?
Wear cleats, shin-guards, no jewelry/etc.
Bring both a dark and a white T-shirt (not your recreational or select team jersey).
Bring water bottle.

What will the skill evaluators be looking for?
1.Ball control and dribbling skills
2.Passing

4.What you are doing when you don't have the ball
