About the Process

MYS will have 2 tryout sessions for each tryout group at the Wheelock Soccer Fields. A player will not be penalized for not being able to attend both tryout sessions. We are scheduling 2 tryouts for each age group and expect that each player will attend at least one. Tryout participation is not mandatory for participation in the program but if a player does not attend at least one tryout, they will not be considered for the select team for that age group. MYS does not "cut" players as tryouts are used only for placement. If a player is medically unable to tryout, please inform us in advance by emailing our Tryout Director at tenhagenpeter@gmail.com

MYS Tryout Policy

Medfield Youth Soccer (MYS) conducts tryouts in the spring of each season as part of the process to select teams for the following fall and spring seasons. Tryouts are conducted by experienced, independent evaluators who are unaffiliated with MYS and unfamiliar with most MYS players. Tryouts typically consist of warmups followed by small-sided scrimmages. 

Goalkeeper Tryouts (Grades 6 - 8 only, NOT rising 5th graders)

Goalkeeper tryouts are in addition to the field player tryouts and the rating from the independent evaluators will be combined with the coach feedback and game evaluation to make a determination on the appropriate team based on the ability of the GK. The expectation is that if a player tries out as a GK, they are committing to playing half of the game for 6th grade teams and full time for 7th/8th grade teams.

We ask that players tryout out as a GK to also attend at least one of the "field player" sessions.
 

Please note that all players must be REGISTERED for the upcoming Fall season in order to participate in tryouts.
