MIFC Tryout Process
Tryouts are a challenging experience for players. We strive to make them as easy as possible, as well as ensuring we work in a consistent way based on our philosophy of development. We believe every player can grow and achieve their goals, they all have their own distinct pathways and timelines for their growth. No matter what happens, we work to provide the best experience possible, and always place players based on where we feel they are best suited for their current phase of development
Player Assessment Pillars
The MIFC Philosophy for assessing players is built of 4 pillars of development:
- Technical
- Tactical
- Physical
- Psychological
Within these pillars are subsets of development characteristics, which are assessed, reviewed, and developed by our coaches to provide comprehensive learning and growth for every individual player, as well as each collective team across the club.
