tryouts 2011-2012
New Club U15 to U18 team evaluation registration
We have now set up an online registration system for players looking to get onto U15 to U18 gold and silver teams for the 2011-12 season. Please take care to input contact information carefully, particularly email addresses.
There is no up-front fee to register for these evaluations.
The registrations are being hosted on the Pt. Grey online registration page on behalf of the the three clubs that have recently merged (new name pending) but these evaluations are open to players from any and all clubs.
Because these evaluations, unlike the U11 to U14 evaluations, are coach-driven, some will have a fee to recover costs and some won't. That will be determined by the team and/or age group and will depend on the format and the fields used.
Specific dates, times and fields will be posted here and emailed out to all players who have registered.

Detailed Information for U11-U14 Ages
Please read the Evaluation Procedures below, for your age group. All U11 to U14 Evaluations will use independent evaluators to ensure knowledgeable, objective player evaluations.
A $15 fee is required, to cover the cost of field use and independent evaluators.
Please note that all Dunbar Soccer players wishing to attend tryouts for next season need to register online. Visit the tryout registration page for details and link to the online registration process. Please check here for evaluations DATES and TIMES.
If you wish to play recreational soccer next season you do not need to register for or attend the evaluations. However, you should register for soccer early at your preferred club so coordinators can place you on a Bronze team.
House League
The House League (U7 to U10) is a non-competitive program that does not involve formal player evaluations or the formation of teams tiered according to player ability. In forming teams, Age Group Coordinators try to accommodate requests for social groupings and aim to achieve balanced teams.
Divisional League
In the Divisional League, Dunbar Soccer approaches player evaluation and team formation differently for different age groups. All Divisional teams play in tiered leagues where teams are comprised of players with similar levels of commitment and skill development.
U11 boys play in tiered eight-a-side leagues. The top U11 division plays with teams from Vancouver, Burnaby, the North Shore and Richmond. Other boys’ U11 divisions play against other teams in Vancouver.
Boys U12 and older play in a league called Four District, which includes Vancouver, Richmond, Burnaby and the North Shore. U12 Boys play 8-a-side and boys U13 and up play 11-a-side. Four District is divided into Gold, Silver and Bronze level teams.
U11 girls now play in a tiered 8-a-side league and will have player evaluations prior to team formation as of the 2008/2009 season. U12 girls play in a tiered 8-a-side league run by BC Coastal Girls Soccer League (BCCGSL). Girls U13 and older play in a 11-a-side league also run by the BCCGSL.
At the end of each season and prior to team formation for the coming year, DSA organizes player evaluation sessions (tryouts) for players interested in playing at the Gold and Silver levels. Players interested in playing at the Bronze level are generally not required to attend player evaluation sessions.
The attached PDF document provides a detailed outline of the evaluation process employed by Dunbar Soccer. Players and parents are encouraged to regularly check the Dunbar Soccer web site for news about current tryouts.
