Q: What do I have to bring to tryouts?
A: Please make sure to wear a white shirt, blacks shorts and black socks, cleats and shin guards. Bring plenty of water and sunscreen. All players need to check-in at the clubhouse before each session to have their temperature checked and receive a ticket with their designated field location. Parents are not be permitted on the fields and need to please wait in their cars. Provide the following waiver and questionnaire on your first day to check-in. Thank you for your cooperation and patience with these new procedures.
Q: What if my child will be out of town during tryouts?
A: Please email us at doc@dunedinsoccer.com with that information. We will make every accommodation to provide the player an opportunity to tryout either at an alternative date upon his/her return or virtually.
Q: What if my child wants to play up an age group?
A: Please email us at doc@dunedinsoccer.com with that information prior to tryouts. We will grant or decline that request after due consideration.
Q: How do I know whether my child made the team or not?
A: Dunedin staff and coaches will email out the results of each night’s tryouts to every player within 24-48 hours of each tryout. Should you not receive an email within this timeframe, firstly please check that your primary email address on your
child's GotSoccer account is correct (as this is what we will be sending the email to). If it is, please then check your junk mail. If the email address is correct, it is not in your junk mail and it has been 48 hours since the tryout, please
contact us at doc@dunedinsoccer.com.
Q: How many players will you pick for my child’s team?
A: That will depend on your child’s age group. Generally speaking, teams that play 7v7 (U9 & U10) will have a roster size of 11 to 12, 9v9 teams (U11 & U12) will have 14 to 15, 11v11 teams age U13 - U15 will have 16 to 20, with U16 - U19
teams having 18 - 24. The reason for larger squads at older ages is that (a) there are more frequent injuries, especially after the high school season as well as (b) more academic and off-field commitments.
