Evaluation Information - All Ages

We only do evaluation for our Summer Soccer Program. Fall Competitive Soccer Teams are formed based on age and numbers of players registered.

Evaluations consist of two sessions. PLAYERS MUST REGISTER EVEN IF THEY WILL NOT BE IN ATTENDANCE AT EVALUATIONS. Please notify Carrlin at centralmndoc@gmail.com if your player will not attend evaluations. 

All registrations must be completed by the close of registration (see below). - THERE WILL BE NO ONSITE REGISTRATIONS ALLOWED

Players who do not register prior to evaluations may still be placed on a team. However, their placement will be based on roster availability after all evaluated players have been placed. 

Evaluation Registration for the Summer 2026 is now open! 

Evaluation Factors

Evaluations are a pinpoint in a player’s soccer journey. It does not determine their endpoint.

Build trust between families and the evaluation process

• We want to limit the amount of stress players and parents feel about evaluations.  We want you to know what to expect so that you can feel prepared.  We understand that with preparation comes a reduction in stress/anxiety, so we home to provide you with the information needed for players to be more practiced and prepared.
  

Factors in evaluations that you can't control:

• Numbers in an age group
• League qualifications and availability
• New players coming to evaluations that have not been in the club before with various talent level

Factors in evaluations that you can control:

• Coaches’ evaluation from summer 2025 and fall 2025: coaches rank players on attendance, attitude, technical, tactical, physical, and overall impact and can provide comments helpful to placement. This plays a role in placement
• Every coach was provided instructions on how to construct their evaluation.  This is a requirement for all coaches.
• All evaluations should include 2 positives/growth points of the season and 2 things for the player to work on between now and evaluations.
• If players have not received their coaches evaluation by August 10th, please email Carrlin at centralmngmo@gmail.com include your player name (first and last), team age group, division and coach.
• Performance in evaluations: just like a job interview, showing up and performing well matters. 

Self Reflection:

• Recognize what players are good at and assess where improvements can be made.
• A form has been added to all players in CMYSA. It is based on the skills that will be assessed during evaluations. Players can go through and assess what they think they are doing well and where they could spend a little more time practicing skills, tactics or psychological attributes.
