2025 Spring / Summer League Play & Select Tryouts
Players wishing to attend tryouts must register for the 2025 season. ** Reminder U9 and U10 do not have tryouts- registration for U9/U10 will close at the end of September.
Tryouts are only for League Play and Select Teams. Tournament Only teams will not have tryouts.
Tryouts are not required, but highly encouraged. We will be offering two tryout dates for all ages groups. We hope that you will be able to make both. Please find below the dates / times for age group tryouts.
We will aim to have a Select team at each gender / age group U13 and older. In order to provide the best possible team, some age groups may be combined. These teams will be determined through the select tryout dates. Players making these teams will be offered a spot and will have the option to accept or decline.
FEMALE TRYOUTS WILL BE HELD AT THE JOHN WITHERS SOCCER COMPLEX
MALE TRYOUTS WILL BE HELD AT WATSON SOCCER COMPLEX

Tryout Process
The ultimate goal of tryouts is to have a ranking for every player in the age group completed by our technical staff.
- As players arrive, they are randomly given a number which is loaded into a google spreadsheet.
- Evaluators line up players and cross check numbers with google spreadsheet
- Players are then randomly assigned at the first tryout to a team to play (number of teams and what we play 7v7 / 9v9 are dependent on the number of players signed up)
- At the 2nd tryout, players will already be grouped based on where they finished in the 1st tryout.
- We have a minimum of two fields, field A and field B.
- Field A can be considered the higher level of play and field B the lower
- Every 15 minutes players are moved between groups based on their ability
- At the end of the session the evaluators have ranked all players on their field 1-X (there are evaluators for each field and then a senior staff (Neil Cassidy / Angelo Tartaglia/ Leo Barbosa) member overseeing)
- Players are thanked and the dismissed
- Information added to age group spreadsheet to help with the selection process
