  Want to be a Patriot? Updated Wednesday, February 16, 2011 11:20 AM

 

Thank you for your interest in the Patriots.

Current league regulations prohibit any team from recruiting players from other competitive teams in the middle of the season. As such, the Patriots organization does not actively seek any player from any competitive team registered with the GBYSL league.

The league mandates that recruiting not be done until the season is over and only in the dates allowed. At the end of the spring season, all players are considered "free" as they do not belong to any team or club and do NOT need a "Player Action" form.

For the players interested in changing current competitive teams at the end of the Fall season, the players are required to inform their fall coaches and get a release signature in the "Player Action" form if they want to tryout for other teams. Recreational registered players are not included and do not need permission to attend other team tryouts.

If you would like to be considered for the team, please fill in the form in the contact us page. Your information will be confidential.

 
About our U10 Girls Selection Process for the Spring 2011.
(Sorry! we will not have tryouts for the U14 girls team for the spring) If you are interested on our U14 team, please contact us through the contact form or by phone.
  • All players that meet the U10 (under 10) age requirements are invited to our selection process training sessions for the Nevada Patriots. Players born between 8/1/2000 and 7/31/2001.
  • We will be conducting five (5) Spring 2011 training sessions open to all. Players will be assessed on Technical level, physical conditioning, attitude, character and commitment.
     
    • Session 1, October 25, 2010. 4:30 to 5:30. Brown Elementary School.
    • Session 2, October 28, 2010. 4:30 to 6:00. South Valleys Lower fields.
    • Session 3, November 1, 2010. 5:00 to 6:30. Brown Elementary School.
    • Session 4, November 4, 2010. 5:00 to 6:30. Brown Elementary School.
    • Session 5, November 6, 2010. 1:00 to 3:00. Brown Elementary School.
    • Special Sessions. CALL For any player whishing to be considered for the team that can not attend our sessions. Please contact John Chavez directly at 775 690 0949.
       
  • What to Bring: Soccer Shoes, Shin-guards, Water & Sports Drink, Size 4 Ball, Appropriate clothing for playing in cold and wet weather (gloves and hat).
     
  • Our goal is to assemble a group of girls that want to participate as part of a program with world class based training in a more challenging competitive environment. (Competitive means to NOT be slaughtered by other teams but to have fairly even matches where either team could win) This goal requires players to commit to learn the game at a higher level, and to understand the responsibility that must be given to the team.
     
  • Players that want to participate in other sports during the height of the soccer seasons or that cannot commit to the effort and time demands, should consider a different level of soccer or another team where the training demands will not be in conflict.
Here are some Q's & A's that may answer some of the questions you may have.
 
Q: Who coaches the team?
A: The team is coached by John Chavez.  National D licensed coach.
 
Q: Where does the team practice?
A: The team practices most of the time at Brown Elementary School in south Reno although it may change from season to season.
 
Q: What age is the team or what division is the team playing on?
A: As of the Spring2011, the older Patriots will be playing as a U14 girls team with players born after August 1 1996 and before July 31 1997.
The younger Patriots will play as a U10 girls team with players born between August 1, 2000 and July 31, 2001.

 
Q: What is your win-loss record and how many tournaments have you won?
A: If you are asking this question, you are not the type of parent we want to have for one of our players. We measure success by a higher standard than what prompted you to ask this question. Plus, you probably have not read the information on this site carefully.
 
Q: How much does it cost?
A: The U14 Patriots will require the league fee, 3 to 4 tournaments and Club Fees.
The U10 Patriots will require the league fee, 1 or 2 local tournaments and club fees. Uniforms and warm ups are extra. Please contact us if you want more detailed information on the cost.

Each player pays for traveling expenses for out of town tournaments.
 

Q: How much is it for coaching?
A: Our Coaching is "Priceless!" We do not charge coaching fees, even though the licensing we hold, experience and the proven growth of our committed players more than justifies for us to charge. Bottom line is, the coaching we provide has been proven to work with different players, teams, and ages, especially when compared with other clubs and teams in the area that charge (an arm and a leg) for coaching and continue to provide minimal knowledge to their players.
 
Q: How often do you practice?
A: We typically hold 3 practices of 2 hours each for the U14's and 1.5 hrs each for the U10's (give or take) every week. Practices decrease as league games and tournament games are scheduled.

If you cannot commit to attending at least 80% average of the practices and games, then perhaps our competitive team is not the team for your child.

Recreational teams require minimal commitment and provide ample opportunities of play time to rec. level players. See the www.gbysl.org website for recreational sign up information.
 

Q: How much is my daughter going to play for the cost of being on the team?
A: As much time as she is physically, technically, and mentally able to do to continue her development and help the team perform at its best. It is also based on a reward system of attendance to practices and games as well as willingness from the child to continue to learn and apply the instruction given. Most of the players on the team that continue to grow will see more game time than those players that fall behind (regardless of the circumstances).
 
Q: Is my child guaranteed to play with the team after the Spring 2011 if she makes the team?
A: The league has a "one year" season divided by the fall and the spring. A child playing in the fall with a team is part of the spring roster. However, a player wishing to change teams can tryout for other teams after the fall season is over so long as their current coach is notified and a "Player Action" form is signed by the current coach. So the short answer is NO, at the end of the spring season, all players must attend the tryouts if they want to stay on the team.
 
Q: Aren't you asking too much from players and their parents to be on the team?
A: NO, this team is not for everyone, we are direct in our expectations so that our players and parents are informed of what is expected. This is NOT a recreational team or a "SOCIAL" club. We set definite goals, we plan our work and we work our plan. We believe that in order to achieve success we must know what we are aiming for and work towards its achievement. That is what we teach our players. We realize there are different points of view for coaching, we just choose to work under the premises of Goal Setting, Commitment, Responsibility, Work Ethic, Respect, Effort and Fun.
 
Great Basin Youth Soccer League (GBYSL) and the PATRIOTS, strongly encourage ALL young athletes attending competitive soccer tryouts, to actively participate in different club or team tryouts. So that they may fully understand the training program or benefits that each team or club may offer to them. Participating in any soccer clubs or independent team tryouts does not register you to play, nor binds you to that particular club or team. For information on clubs and teams in Northern Nevada, visit www.GBYSL.org
