Soccer Families,

 

Morton United FC is excited to announce our official evaluation dates for our inaugural season!  Our coaches can’t wait to see your players and get our club evaluations started!

 

Please register online before attending evaluations:  You can click here to register on our website. All players must be registered online for evaluations.  This helps us better plan for groups and gives us your contact information for future communications so please register in advance.

Makeup Eval:  The following week we will invite players to “Camp NOW” to be evaluated with other players their age--This is only for players that were out of town on June 9th/10th and 12th/13th. Fill out this form to let us know that you need an alternative date and we will share information with you on attending camp.

 

Last Call Eval: June 23rd (Wednesday)-- only for players that register after June 13th and need an evaluation (time TBD as needed).  HS girls will be evaluated on this date 6-7pm at McClallen.

 

Location of evals:

Evaluations will be held at McClallen Park in Morton, Illinois (401 N. Tennessee).  Upon arriving, parents and players need to go to the South side of the park near the pavilion for “check-in”.  Evaluations will then occur on the North side of the park at the fields. We ask that parents/families remain on the "south side" by the check in tables during the evaluations.  **If inclement weather, we would move evals inside to the Indoor Soccer Center at 324 S. Detroit Ave. **  

 

What to wear/bring:

Players should wear cleats, shin guards, and a white shirt (please also bring a red shirt). Bring a soccer ball and water bottle also.

 

Check in: There will be check-in tables by the concession stand where players will sign in, get a number and then be taken to the fields with their appropriate group.  Season paperwork will also be collected at that time.

****  To speed up the "check in process", please complete waivers prior to evaluations. The required waivers are linked below and can be found under the "Documents" tab on our website. We will have extra copies of season paperwork on hand at evaluations if needed. ****

  Season paperwork that we need to collect from every player:

        Birth certificate (copy is fine)

       IYSA 2020 waiver

       US Club Waiver

       IYSA Covid Waiver

 

Next steps after evals: Coaches will evaluate your player and take notes during the evaluation.  Coaches will then meet to finalize rosters, and the goal for roster communication will be by the end of June.  Since this is a “merger” rostering, we will appreciate your patience during this first rostering of players and teams.

 

Additional Information:

1. Players (minus 2014/15) are asked to come to BOTH evaluation dates. (June 9th/12th for girls or June 10th/12th for boys)

2. If players cannot attend these dates, they need to attend a make up at Camp NOW or "last call" on June 23rd.

3. If players cannot attend any of these dates, please fill out the form and reply to your eval e-mail (mortonunitedfc@gmail.com) and we will find a way to evaluate your player.

We look forward to seeing you and your player for the beginning of this exciting new soccer journey!  Stronger together!
