The first few years of Indians soccer were more serious than they needed to be. No one, including coaches, players and parents,
knew any better. It was all brand new. We played 45 minute halves on a full size field
with full size nets in towns as far as Bohemia. We were six years old!

Floral Park Travel Soccer Tryouts - Fall 2020/Spring 2021
Location:
Floral Park Bellerose School
Our tryout schedule is subject to change. Inclement weather and other unforeseen circumstances will require us to alter the schedule as necessary.
Tryout Fee:
Current FPSC members (travel or intramural) - $0. Non-FPSC members - $10. Please bring $10 with you at the time of the tryout. Checks should be made payable to the Floral Park Indians Athletic Club.
TRYOUT INFORMATION
Parent or Guardian Must Stay
A parent or guardian must stay at the tryout with their child in case there is an injury or severe weather.
No Travel Club Apparel
Do not have your child wear any travel club uniform apparel from any club including travel uniform jersey/shorts/socks, practice jersey’s, warm-ups, etc.
Both Sessions
Make sure your child comes to both tryout sessions so that a thorough observation of your child's skill set can be assessed.
Need Coaches
For newly formed teams, we need parents to volunteer to be the Head Coach if your child is selected for the team. All of our teams have parents as Head Coaches and we cannot form a team if parents do not volunteer. We are here to
help and guide you during this rewarding coaching experience.
48 Hours to Accept Position On Travel Team
We expect to notify you of results via e-mail within one week of tryouts. If selected, you will have 48 hours to accept the offer to the team. If you do not accept by 48 hours, then we will offer your child's spot to another child.
Commitment
Our travel teams play competitive soccer games against other town travel teams in the Long Island Junior Soccer League. Travel soccer is a substantial commitment. The commitment is for the Fall 2020 (Sept. - November) and Spring
2021 (March - June) Seasons. Players must expect to train at least two times per week and play in a game on the weekends throughout the year if selected to a travel team. Travel teams also play in winter and summer tournaments at the
discretion of his or her coach. If you are selected for a travel team, the expectation is that you are strive to make all practices and all games. If you cannot make this commitment please do not accept a position.
No Guarantee
There is no guarantee that your child will be accepted onto a travel team. Whether a travel team can be formed depends on a variety of factors including how many kids tryout for a particular team, the skill and maturity level of
the kids, and whether sufficient Coaches can be found to coach the team. Tryouts will be run exclusively by New York City FC Trainers. We expect to notify you of results within one week of tryouts.
No Instructions or Involvement During the Tryout
Once you check in your child, and the tryout begins, you are not permitted in the tryout area nor to shout instructions during the tryout. Your son/daughter must play to the best of his or her ability without parental involvement.
This rule is true for any coaches as well. Only the evaluators and those running the tryout session are permitted.
Equipment
Make sure your child has cleats, shin guards, a properly inflated #4 soccer ball (for U9 and U10) and plenty of water. (They should not need to run over to you for any of the above once try-outs begin)
Arrival Time
Do not arrive late. The first 15 minutes of the session will be for registration, numbering, providing jerseys, and to answer any questions anyone might have. The next 1 hour and 15 minutes is for the actual tryout which will be
run by New York City FC.
TIPS TO SHARE WITH YOUR SON/DAUGHTER
Have fun!
If your child comes to tryout anxious and nervous, it will be reflected in his/her ability to do what they do best! Have them relaxed and enjoying the experience.
Pay Attention
Make sure players pay attention to instructions. It is just like any classroom — just more fun, and outside!
IMPORTANT
Making or not making a travel team this year has no bearing on your child’s future ability to play soccer. Maturity, skill level, knowledge, and awareness all come about at different ages for kids. We have an intramural program that
is available for kids in grades 1 - 7 that your child can participate in if he or she is not selected for a travel team. We also offer soccer clinics and camps.

game or what was going on at school. They were talking, laughing, and just enjoying being together as this close knit
group always does. But they did not realize the reality that was slowly beginning to creep up on them.

Our Team Spotlight is on the entire Intramural Program which has become a tremendous part of the FPSC.
This Spring, 30 teams, 556 enrolled players, and 5 divisions will compete in the FPSC Intramural League.
The Numbers:
This Spring, 30 teams, 556 enrolled players, and 5 divisions will compete in the FPSC Intramural League.
These players will take part in 40 minute action-packed games for 6 weekends, to finish out their soccer year and prepare for the Fall 2018 season.
The Fall session is jam-packed with a 9 week season, the Fall Tournament, and Awards.
Fall Season:
In the Fall regular season, teams will do their best and compete for first and second place trophies.
The Fall also features the FPSC Fall Intramural Tournament.
All teams in the tournament play in seeded positions where they will do their best to land in one of the top three spots and earn either a Gold, Silver, or Bronze medal.
Gameday Atmosphere:
On game day Saturdays, FPBS is busy. There are hundreds of kids and scores of parents all over. There is a lot is excitement and cheering in the air. It is a fast-paced environment…we move 15 games plus 3 one hour clinics in just
under 4 hours. Lots of moving pieces.
Tom King and our field manager, Steve Greene, do a great job getting it all done.
Games are well organized and usually run smoothly.
Gameday Sundays are much more subdued…only 4 games, all in the same hour, and 3 one hour clinics.
FPSC Intramural League Mission:
The FPSC’s top priority for our intramural program is for the kids to have fun…that is what FPSC Soccer is all about. We take pride in providing a fun activity for the community to take part in.
With that being said, more and more our intramural program is becoming a breeding ground for our travel program. Many more kids, at all ages, are taking the intramural competition more seriously, principally because there is a
greater focus on making it to the travel level.
We are also very focused on teaching the skills and strategies necessary to excel in youth soccer. We provide a Junior Clinic for kids 3-5 years old, a Developmental Skills Clinic for Grades 1-7, and summer camps for all levels.
Matt Sotirhos is the director of the Intramural Program. This is Matts 2nd year running the entire intramural program and his 3rd year running the Junior Clinic.
“My personal experience running the program…it’s exhausting!! It really is a lot of work, especially in the offseason. Lots of time and energy go into it. However, it is extremely rewarding when you see the final product…the kids
out on the pitch having fun! I also think that the program has improved tremendously over the past 3 years: enrollment is up, skill levels have improved, the program is much more organized, and parents are generally happier, especially
at the younger levels.” - Matt
We are proud to announce that the New York City Football Club also known as NYCFC, will partner up with
Floral Park Soccer Club to host annual Spring and Summer Soccer Camps.
FPSC is excited to bring a MLS/professional soccer atmosphere and training staff to Floral Park to give our players
the best possible soccer camp environment. We are looking forward to a great partnership with NYCFC and we hope
you can join us.
