What To Expect

Once registered, players may attend all scheduled tryout sessions for their age group. Multiple evaluations help our staff properly assess players and place them in the most appropriate developmental environment.

Team invites are typically sent within 2-3 days following tryouts, with rosters finalized approximately one week after the final tryout date.
​
A brief parent meeting will be held following tryouts to review season details, expectations, and next steps.
