The crisp fall air and the sound of soccer balls being kicked around Orchard Park in Burlington signaled one thing: it was time for tryouts at Force Soccer Academy! This past weekend, young soccer enthusiasts from across the region gathered to showcase their skills and passion for the beautiful game. From U8 to U13 boys and girls, the excitement was palpable as players of all levels took to the field, eager to earn a spot in one of the academy’s grassroots and competitive programs.
For many of these young athletes, tryouts are not just about showcasing their skills but also about experiencing the camaraderie and competitive spirit that define soccer. Tryouts were designed to test the various aspects of their game, from technical skills and tactical awareness to agility and speed. Force’s experienced coaching staff were on hand to assess each player’s abilities and potential, ensuring that every participant received a fair evaluation.
