Palo Alto AYSO Winter/Spring Select

Under-10 Girls

Coaches: Kim Limbrick & Tim Misner



Team Objective

The objective of the U10G Spring Select Team is to have fun playing soccer at a higher level of competition than the fall season and to further develop each player's individual skills and understanding of team tactics and strategy.


Eligibility

To be eligible to play on the 2008 U10G Spring Select Team, a girl must have:

  1. (1)Been born after July 31, 1997,

  2. (2)Been on the roster of a Palo Alto AYSO Region 26 team during the Fall 2007 season, and

  3. (3)Played in at least 50% of her fall team's regular season games.


Team Formation

We will have one team consisting of 13 to 15 players. A second team may be formed provided there is sufficient interest and enough qualified players who tryout and we have the coaches and field space. Last year the second team failed to get off the ground due to a lack of coaches. If you are interested in coaching please contact Raymond Wong at raymond_wong@sbcglobal.net


Players will be chosen for the 2008 U10G Spring Select Team based on the quality of their play during the Fall 2007 season and their performance at the tryouts. Factors that play a part in player selection include skill, speed, effort, understanding of the game, sportsmanship, practice habits, commitment to improving soccer skills and physical conditioning, commitment to attending two practices per week and to participating in both tournaments in May, family volunteer commitment, the team's positional needs, team chemistry, and the recommendations of fall season coaches.


We will hold formal tryouts in early December if weather permits. For more tryout information click here


Unlike the Fall season, the Spring program is selective and not every player who is interested can be accommodated on a team. Player selection is solely the responsibility of the coaches. While some players who played in a previous Select season may be chosen for the 2008 team, participation on an AYSO Select team in a previous year is no guarantee of selection to the 2008 team.

If there is sufficient interest and enough qualified players who tryout and we have the coaches and field space we may add a second team.
