Player Evaluation Weekend Update - Due to current field conditions, rain in the forecast throughout the weekend, a few coaches unable to attend, and some staff out with the flu the MCSC Board has voted to cancel the player evaluations scheduled for this weekend.

Next week the club will provide an update on the overall process for creating teams, when players can expect to hear from a coach, and when practices will begin in March.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please read the information below careful which includes dates and times.

When is it going to be held? - The player evaluation day will now be held on Saturday February 15th for U8, U12 and U15 and Sunday February 16th for U10. See below for times

Where is it being held? - The draft will be held at the main soccer fields located at 96 Industrial Park Road in Franklin, NC 28734.

What if the weather is bad those days? - The board is aware that rain is in the forecast for this upcoming weekend. A final decision about the player evaluation day will be made on Friday February 14th at 12:00. Please check your email, our website, or our Facebook page for updates.

What if I am on a Highlands Team? - Players on teams from Highlands do not need to attend this player evaluation day.

What should my player wear? - All players attending this draft day will need to wear comfortable clothing and soccer cleats if they have them.

What happens at the evaluation? - The evaluation will be 3 separate drills that will allow coaches to evaluate their dribbling, passing, shooting, and sprinting skills.

What day and time should I arrive? - Please follow the day and times listed below for each division. Evaluations are expected to take around 30 minutes.

What if I can't make It? - All players within these divisions are encouraged to attend the player evaluation day. This helps both the league and coaches sort players onto teams as fairly as possible. Those players that are unable to attend will be drafted by random "hat" drawing.

What about the younger divisions? - Players registered within our U5 an U6 divisions do not attend the player evaluation day. These players will be sorted onto teams by the league based on age, whether they are a returning player, etc. Coaches within these divisions should reach out to you between 3/8 and 3/15.

What if I am coaching a U8, U10, U12, or U15 team this season? - We will send a separate email to coaches but you should make plans to attend the day and time for your division.
