A few years back, I was just south of 30, in really good shape and had been back playing as an adult for 5ish years. I also had played in HS and knew and understood the game pretty well.
One of my BRSA teams was practicing one weekend, and scrimmaged some of the BR Capitals.
If I were to sum up that experience with a phrase, "one legged Special Olympian" pops immediately to mind.

If you've never played any competitive ball past the age of 17 you're pretty much going to struggle, big time.
I had one of my players, who's a former IMG Academy player, try out with them last year. If he was fit he could have hung, but he was just completely out of his league.
Good luck, i'll be out there.

Any idea what we will be doing? I'm hoping we just do small sided games for a while then move to 11v11. Is that too much to ask

It may be fun but im sorry you are going to get embarrassed.

Small sided games will def be played.
Probably some high intensity fitness drills to start the day off, i'm assuming they'll do this to weed out the weaklings. Then small sided games, then big field 11v11.
Not sure if they'll have their senior players there to participate as a few of them are playing on C.D. Motagua, who is participating in ISLANO and the state open cup.

Goodbye MLSter.

Just go out there and try your best. Keep your head on a swivel though, cause things will be moving a rapid pace.
Let us know how you do.

how big of a deal are the jesters? They actually pay you if you make
The Jesters compete in the NPSL which is the 4th division of US Soccer. Equivalent to PDL.
Most of the players that play in NPSL, PDL are local kids coming home from playing in college and a few studs that are working as coaches year round.
You don't get paid as it would make all participating college players ineligible.
Like someone mentioned before. Patrick Mullins, who is now with New England Revolution, played for them. Steven Morris, who is a former Honduran U23 player, played for them. Just to give you an idea.

Pshhh. Guess they miss out on these skills then.

Just out of curiosity, do you view soccer as an easy sport if you are saying things like "scoring at will in the BRSA open" and "try out for the Jesters" even though you never played real soccer?

I remember him from earlier threads. He's just delusional.

If he does, then he'll find out how easy it is tomorrow.

I've played with MLSter for a few years. He's a very solid player but lacks coaching and understanding of creating space off the ball as a forward. I think that is what he's looking for during these try outs. Coaching and a better understanding of the game.

im sure he'll get that at a busy professional tryout instead of a being told "what the hell are you doing on this field wasting our time"

I find it hard to believe that anyone who's never played real soccer is a good player. You might be decent with the ball and you might be good at pickup but that doesn't mean anything in a full sided game, much less semi pro.

Nice alter, MLSter

I played PDL for a summer while in college and would never try out now after being away from the game for a few years. Part of me thinks I should be insulted by this guy's attitude towards the competitiveness of the sport (or perceived lack of competitiveness) but I guess it's a case of "you don't know what you don't know." If he tries out, he'll find out soon enough
