Tryout Process

Step
Description
1. Initial Tryout

All age groups will have the same tryout process. There will be two (2) days of skill testing and one (1) day of scrimmaging in live game situations.

***Please Note - If you are unable to attend the 3 days of tryouts, you must either come to the scheduled make up date, or call in and schedule a private tryout BEFORE original tryout dates

At the initial tryout, each player must provide the following information:
1. Birth Certificate
2. Signed Waiver of Liability Form
3. Signed Statement of Understanding by Player & Parents
4. Credit Card Authorization Form

2. Top 24 Contacted

After all initial tryouts are done, the top 24 of each age group will be contacted on the scheduled date and asked to come back for a final scrimmage.

If you are selected in the top 24, it means you have secured a spot on either the Blue or Gold team. After the final scrimmage the Blue and Gold rosters will be finalized. In order to participate in the Top 24 scrimmage, a deposit of $300 MUST be put down to secure your spot. If you do not deposit the $300 you will not be allowed to scrimmage and we will ask the 25th ranked player to take your spot.

3. Top 24 Scrimmage The Friday following your age group's make up tryout there will be a scrimmage of the Top 24 players. This scrimmage will be used to assist in finalizing the Blue and Gold rosters. This scrimmage will be used to see the athletes in live game situations and is not the deciding factor on team placement.
4. Team's Finalized Rosters for the Blue and Gold team's will be finalized following the scrimmage and each player will be contacted by the following Monday of their team placement. Upon team selection the remaining balance of each teams deposit will be due on scheduled date of deposit.
