It is recommended that players who wish to tryout for a competitive team start to prepare themselves now for what will be a very competitive tryout. Each age group in the Youth Program will be observed and evaluated by a selection committee. During the evaluation sessions some of the things the selection committee will look at are the players attitude, social skills, concentration, motivation, work ethic, willingness to learn, technical and tactical ability. The committee will then place each player at his/her appropriate level. This is for U10 Academy and U12 to U18 players only.
All players from U10 to U18 are required to tryout at their own age level. Should a player wish to tryout for a team at a higher age level a request in writing must be presented to dunbrack.sc@ns.sympatico.ca.
Players Born in 1992-1993 U18 Age Level
Players Born in 1994-1995 U16 Age Level
Players Born in 1996-1997 U14 Age Level
Players Born in 1998-1999 U12 Age Level
Players Born in 2000-2001 U10 Age Level
Those not wishing to participate in the Tier 1 program need not attend the Tier 1 evaluations as there will be separate evaluation sessions for the all the Tier 2 players, U12 to U18 both for A and B levels. Players that are not selected at the Tier 1 evaluations must attend the Tier 2A evaluations.
Please see the link below for a complete listing of all the evaluation sessions. There is a mandatory $20.00 tryout fee.

Derek Gaudet Signs with Oregon-based Portland Timbers 2010-03-02 17:08:47
Derek Gaudet has earned a contract with the Oregon-based Portland Timbers and is expected to suit up with the United Soccer Leagues First Division club in April.
The 20-year-old midfielder from Bayside impressed the Timbers’ staff during a mini-camp late last month. The team’s pre-season training camp opened yesterday.
The Timbers, who have 22 players on their roster for this coming season, are joining Major League Soccer in 2010-11. Gaudet is hoping to work his way back to MLS after making his professional debut with Toronto FC in 2008.
He spent last summer with Halifax Dunbrack and was named Nova Scotia Soccer League Premiership MVP. He also trained with the senior national team in January.

Effective August 1st,2006 in an effort to reduce the number of complaints, protests, requests to Soccer Nova Scotia,only those that are supported by the belonging club will be addressed.
************************************
Complaints, protests, requests received by Soccer Nova Scotia will be re-routed to the complaintent's club President. It is expected that club Presidents will contact the member complaining / protesting / requesting and discuss the issue with him / her. The club President can then decide whether to support the issue going forward to Soccer Nova Scotia, and would notify Soccer Nova Scotia accordingly. The concept serves the purposes of Clubs acting as filter for Soccer Nova Scotia so the Association is not unnecessarily burdened with issues that clubs do not consider to warrant Soccer Nova Scotia's attention.
