The purpose of these sessions is to objectively evaluate players' soccer skills, to complement the season-wide feedback from their coaches. This will assist the club in forming teams of similar abilities. Current Grade 2(rising grade 3 players) will not go through this evaluation process as part of forming teams for next season.

Guidance for parents;

Please ensure your players bring cleats, shin-pads and water
Each session will last 75 mins for each grade
Parents may drop off and pick-up only; there will be NO WAITING at the Fessenden field facility
Your player must be registered for the Fall season to take part in these sessions (for insurance reasons; no registration, no try-out) https://secure.adminsports.net/doversherbornmasoccer

Please pay attention to the year listed below as the site may still be showing last year's schedule.

The rankings and scores from these sessions are a complement to the coach evaluation sheets that score each player across fourteen criteria, weighted to match the Club’s player philosophy. Teams are formed to allow the players to develop optimally with and against players of similar ability. There are no evaluation tryout sessions for rising Grade 3/current Grade 2 players.

The teams are formed using coach evaluation sheets from previous seasons and input from the Director of Coaching. While we have a default structure based on the grade and number of teams (3rd Grade: 4 Teams AABB, 3 Teams ABB, 2 Teams AA. | 4th-8th Grade: 4 Teams ABCD, 3 Teams ABC, 2 Teams AB), the coordinators, in conjunction with the Director of Coaching and Presidents, will have the option to make modifications to the default structure for particular cohorts based on the data.

AEDs - Details on Fields

Coaches and parents, please note that that there is an AED (Automated External Defibrillators) located at each playing field. Details for both Dover and Sherborn fields are below.

DOVER fields:

All AED’s have adult and pediatric (located in the back zippered compartment) pads.

1 device at the Caryl 1 Baseball Field located in the yellow box behind the backstop
1 device at the Chickering Field located in the yellow box behind the backstop
1 device at the Upper Chickering Field (near the Chickering School). The box is on the tree (right hand side) and the combination is 0-0-0
1 device at the Caryl Park Field

All combinations are 0-0-0-0 or 0-0-0 (depending on the lock) to open the box with the AED.

SHERBORN fields:

These units does not need a lock combination to access- these are in alarmed cases. All of Sherborn (police, fire, schools, public buildings, fields, pond) has the same units: Powerheart G3 Plus, which are fully automatic, giving verbal instructions and will not administer a shock if a heart beat is detected nor if a bystander is touching the person needing help.
