East Meadow Soccer Club 2010-11 tryouts announced

In early June each year, the East Meadow Soccer Club hosts an open selection and evaluation process for players interested in becoming members of the club. Evaluations are conducted for each of the following programs:

EMSC Elite Team Program U10 - U18 1st Teams:

The Elite teams participate in the Long Island Junior Soccer League, Eastern New York President’s League, Region 1 Northeast Region League and the Region 1 Premier League. The Elite teams compete in the ENY State Cup, Region 1 Regional Tournament and national competitions. The U10-U13 teams also compete in the LIJSL Waldbaums Cup.

The Elite teams at U12 and U13 travel to Elite level tournaments on the East Coast, primarily, but not limited to, the Northeast region.

The Elite teams at U14 – U18 travel to Elite level tournaments, primarily on the East Coast, and periodically travel to national-level tournaments throughout the country.

EMSC Classic Team Program U10 – U18 2nd, 3rd and 4th Teams:

The Classic teams participate in LIJSL, ENY President’s League, the ENY State Cup and the LIJSL Waldbaums Cup. The Classic teams participate in local mid-level tournaments, primarily on Long Island, and occasionally will travel to a tournament in the Northeast region. These teams will also occasionally, with club permission, travel outside the Northeast for events.

*Note: There are no tryouts for the U7, U8 and U9 Developmental Program, and there is an open evaluation process for the U9 Pre-Travel Program. To join these programs, players need to register online.

A player can designate which team he or she is trying out for before or during tryouts. All players in every age group are evaluated over two sessions. On occasion, coaches may hold a third session. Upon the conclusion of the selection process, players receive an invitation to join the club that includes a specific team assignment for the coming year.

Although EMSC makes every effort to place players on teams, sometimes this is not possible owing to roster limitations and player numbers. In such circumstances, EMSC is committed to being a resource for any player looking for a team.
