• Notes about Tryouts:
  • 5×7 photo of self MOUNTED on cardstock paper, 2” below shoulders and 2” above  top of head. Please dress and put hair in a way that you’d have during tryouts. (This helps coaches get to know you and shuffle your standing during tryouts, please adhere to these guidelines as it makes everything easier for coaches and you are easier to recognize)
  • Dress in appropriate gear, bring water bottle, no club shirts/gear
  • You will receive a tryout shirt when you arrive, this will double as a practice shirt for the season
  • The first day will be split according to previous year standing. You may be asked to stay for second session, please be prepared to change your pick up time with parents at the last minute. The second session will be decided after first session and will be determined by skill shown on day 1, this does NOT guarantee a spot on one team or another. After day 2, coaches will create teams and will be posted here and via email by the number you received during tryouts.
  • Tryouts will be a series of drills that will help the coaches evaluate the players not only based on skill, but position needed, coachability, team player attitude as well as hustle, punctuality and attention to detail. Many things go into creating a team.
• Thank you everyone for all your effort and time today and yesterday at tryouts. We know how exciting and how hard this time can be. We appreciate each person that came to tryout and were impressed by all the talent across all grades this year. It is very hard for coaches to make cuts and we wish everyone the very best and appreciate all athletes. Keep in mind coaches needed to create teams that had 1-3 of each position, which may have played a roll in which team your athlete was placed on, among many other attributes and reasons.
  • Wednesday is our first practice at 3:00pm and will be handing out uniforms. Please be on time and ready to set up nets at 3:00pm. Warm ups will start at 3:15pm.
  • Thursday we have pictures at 3pm and concussion testing/parent meeting at 5pm. Please bring cash/check to place your pre-game meal order and program “shout out” for back page.
