What Can You Expect To Do in an AIM Tryout?

AIM Leadership wants players that can fit well with our team values, play style, and overall vibe. We work to build a tryout structure that gives every player the opportunity to show these.

Team System Drills

Team system drills are intended to evaluate your abilities to play within, or learn, a system. Examples can include Endzone Scrimmages, Multi-Person Flows, or Defensive Set Simulation.

Game-Like Scrimmages

Game-like scrimmages are intended to evaluate your abilities to make an impact in a game state. Examples can include Full 7v7, Small-Field Scrimmages, or Dead-Disc Situations.

Individual Skill Drills

Individual skill drills that are intended to evaluate your abilities to make plays on O and D. Examples can include Break-Mark, 1v1 or 2v2 Cutting, or Deep-Throw Continuations.

Who Does AIM Look For?

Tryouts make even great players anxious.
AIM works to build a tryout environment that promotes transparency in our evaluations.

By Yourself, Can You...?

AIM knows that great teams are made from great players with potential. We look for players that can answer the following questions confidently:

Can you make high-quality throws and throwing decisions into space with timing to keep the flow?

Can you use your physical and timing abilities to get open, gain yards, and make plays when cutting?

Can you shut down your player on defense and create the opportunity for a D? Can you play Help D?

Can you stay aware of the play on the field in the middle of a point and adjust accordingly?

In a Team, Can You...?

AIM also knows that great teams are more than the sum of their individual parts. We look for players that can also answer these questions effectively:

Can you rebound mentally after a your or a teammate's mistake immediately and continue to play?

Can you support your teammates with energy and directions both on offense and on defense?

Can you build chemistry with the players around you to bring out their best performance for your team?

Can you take feedback from coaches and teammates and implement it quickly and effectively?

AIM Tryout
Structure

AIM tryouts are commonly Saturday and Sunday, about 4 hours per day with a break in the middle of the session. We try to plan tryouts Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning to accommodate peoples' travel plans.
