bring it with you to each try-out your child attends. For those players that are unable to register
online, you can use the Printable Registration Link below and bring it to the try-out. If you do not

No. There is no try-out fee this year. If a player is selected for a team and wants to play, a $50 deposit that night will
be used as their committment to the team.

|
What if I have an outstanding balance from the 2009 - 2010 season?

What is the try-out process?
Try-Outs are schedule for 1 day for each age group. During the try-out, players will be evaluated on many aspects
of the game including technical and tactical situations. Coaches of a given age group will conduct the session
while coaches from other age groups will evaluate each player. Toward the end of the try-out sessions, coaches
will determine teams based on the evaluations. The results of the try-outs will be posted at the end of the session.

How are players selected for a team?
During the try-out, players will be evaluated on many aspects of the game including technical and tactical situations.
Coaches of a given age group will conduct the session while coaches from other age groups will evaluate each player.
The evaluating coaches will select players based on the try-out up to the number of players that start for a given age
group. The head coach of an age group / team will chose the remaining players up to the maximum roster size.
This gives players the opportunity to be evaluated by someone other than their head coach. It also gives the head
coach the flexibility of selecting players for the team that may not have had a good try-out or were unable to attend
the try-out.
|
|
|
How do I reserve my spot and commit to the team?
At the end of each try-out session, the results will be posted. At that time, in order to reserve your spot
on the team, a $50 non-refundable deposit is required. This indicates your commitment to the team. The deposit
will be put toward your player fees for the 2010 - 2011 season. If the deposit is not given at that time, your
spot can be offered to another player.
|
|
|
Will I need a new uniform this year?
Yes. All players will need new uniforms this year. We have had our current uniforms for 3 years and it is no longer
being made. The cost for the entire new uniform will be around $50. The cost of the uniform will need to be paid
in full when a player commits to a team.
|
|
|
Can I try-out more than once?
Yes. However, a player can only commit to one team.
|
|
|
What if I cannot make the try-out date?
If a player is unable to attend the scheduled try-out, they should still register for try-outs as explained above.
Those players should attend the Supplemental try-out scheduled on Monday, June 7. Please understand that the
Supplemental date will be used to fill any roster spots not filled from the scheduled try-out date. The Supplemental
date is also for all ages and may not give the player the best opportunity to display their ability.
|
|
|
What do I bring to the try-out?
Each player should bring the following to the try-out:
* Copy of online confirmation or filled out paper form.
* 2 filled out copies of the Medical Release Waiver.
* 2 copies of birth certificate.
* 1 passport size picture of the player.
* $50 deposit to commit to a team.
* Soccer ball.
* Shin guards.
* Water or Sport Drink.

Academy Teams (U8 thru U10)
Academy teams are the developmental ages for Moline United. These age groups will focus on the technical aspects
of the game with an emphasis on each player’s confidence on and around the ball. This will allow players to
develop the foundation of a good soccer player and enable them to progress more efficiently into more advanced
technical skills as well as the tactics of the game. Players in these age groups will still be evaluated with
the end goal of creating multiple equal strength teams for both boys and girls. Academy teams will play in a
local travel soccer league against other clubs in the Quad Cities area. Most league games are played in Moline,
East Moline, and Bettendorf. There are occasions when games are played in Geneseo, Dubuque, Muscatine, and Freeport.
Academy teams also have the opportunity to play in tournaments in Moline, East Moline, Muscatine, Bettendorf, and Peoria.
Decisions to play in tournaments will be based on a consensus from the parent group of the team.
|
|
|
Competitive Teams (U11 thru U18)
Competitive level teams are for those players that want to continue to play soccer at an increasingly higher
level. Teams are formed based on the ability of the players. Competitive teams will play in the local league
or other state sanctioned league depending on the level of the team and willingness to travel. Competitive
teams will be expected to participate in at least 2 tournaments which may include travel to Chicago, St. Louis,
and Des Moines. At this level, the expectation is that players be will attend all training sessions and that
soccer is or is becoming their primary sport.
