Register for Player Placements

Every 2022/23 returning PCSC player, along with anyone interested in joining the Club, must complete the Placements Pre-Registration. This allows us to:

  • Communicate up-to-date information about the placement process
  • Get a feel for numbers within each birth year
  • Pre-assign numbers to be worn during the placement session

Players not pre-regististered run the risk of missing part of their tryout session, including introductions and instructions. Additionally, those not pre-registered may find their is confussion with their name, birth year, or player number on the coach evaluation sheets.

Day of Instructions

GENERAL INFO

Please confirm placement schedule for the date, time, and field location specific to your player’s birth year 24-hours in advance to ensure no adjustments have been made.


Day-of Registration is highly discouraged. If you must register the day of placements, please follow this two-step process:


1) Report to Placements HQ (Park Room adjacent to the lower Trailside playground) 30 minutes prior to scheduled placement session; a volunteer will provide your player with a number and they may proceed to the field to get started


2) The parent should then remain at the Placements HQ to complete the player's online registration; without completing this step, your player may not appear on final lists and coaches may not be able to reach your player regarding team placements.


Parents: Parents are asked not to gather to watch placements from the fields, sidelines or anywhere near the vicinity of the placement session


PLEASE NOTE: Should there be any possibility of thunderstorms, we ask parents to remain in their car, in the vicinity for quick pick up of your player if needed

 


CHECK-IN INSTRUCTIONS

     - A volunteer will confirm your player's attendance and give them their pre-assigned placement number

     - Pin the number on the front of shorts - right leg

Player Placements FAQs

  • Does my player need to attend both days of Player Placements?

    It is highly recommended that each player attend both days of Player Placements. While a player will not be penalized for missing a day, attendance at both sessions ensures her / or she maximizes their opportunity to be seen by evaulators in all relevant playing scenarios. 

  • Can we show up at Player Placements without pre-registering?

    Pre-registration for PCSC Player Placements is highly recommended. There is no fee and pre-registration is open from May 1 through 11am on each day of Player Playerments.  


    Pre-registration ensures your player's name is on the evaluation forms for the coaching staff, with the correct assigned number. 


    Walk up registration is accepted, but the process generally results in a player missing the first few minutes of the session, including introductions and instructions. Walk up registration also runs the risk of a player not appropriately being recorded on coaches' evaluation sheets (name, number, or birth year.)   

  • What if I can't attend Player Placements?

    All players, even returning players, must participate in an evaluation before being named to a PCSC team.


    All players, returning and new, should Pre-Registerer for Player Placements even if they are unable to attend. This gets their name on the candidate list for their proper age-group. The Pre-Registration form has a spot to indicate you will be missing Placements.


    Current players missing Placements should notify both their 2022/23 coach and Technical Director, Eli Ulvi, prior to the scheduled Placement date. Eli will provide the name and contact information for the appropriate coach the player should call upon return to schedule an evaluation session.


    New players should follow instructions for Joining PCSC Late

  • How do we find out the Player Placements results?

    Player Placement results will be placed on the Club's website (parkcitysoccer.org) two days after the completion of Placements. 


    Results will be posted by number / team / birth year. Players should keep track of their number  by taking a photograph of their number when they register on the first day

  • What if I lose my assigned Player Placement number?

    Players are asked to keep the Placements number assigned to them the first day, and wear it again the second day. If a number is lost or damaged, a new number can be requested at Placements Check In
