???  Frequently asked questions ???

Q: How does "OPEN" tryouts work ?

A: "OPEN" tryouts means that any player from any age group either within our organization or not can tryout for any team she feels comfortable with. We simply ask that you gauge your abilities accordingly and be realistic about your expectations. For example we wouldn't recommend a 12U player trying out for our 18U Gold team , however an advanced 14U player may want to tryout for our 16U Travel or showcase teams .

Q: Will there be another tryout for the 2018 / 2019 Season after these dates?

A:  Depending on whether or not a coach finds all of the "pieces" he or she is looking for we may have "last look" tryouts. These usually happen 1 - 2 weeks after our regularly scheduled tryouts and may be only for 1 or 2 age brackets. 

Q: My child attended a tryout on and didn't make GOLD or ELITE level team, can we come back on the another date for a tryout on a regular team she still age qualifies for ?

A: YES You may comeback again to tryout, please bring your tryout shirt from the first one so we can pull your paperwork and you will save the $15.00 fee.

Q: My child attended tryouts when will we know if she made a team?

A: We email , text, or phone the prospective player usually the same day as tryouts if we are offering you a position on a team. Unfortunately not everyone who tries out makes a team. We give these first selection prospects until the next day at 5pm, to accept that position. Should they pass on it we move on to the next ranked prospect on the list that fits the coaches needs. So, by the next day every prospective player who tried out will recieve an offer to play for one of our teams, or a letter informing you that you did not make a team. 

Q: Its after the next day and we haven't heard any info , what do we do? 

A: Please look up the coaches that your child tried out for (under the our teams section) and contact them directly through our site, you will recieve an answer back in 24hrs. 

Q: We were away and missed the tryout, what do we do?

A: Contact the coach for the team you wish to tryout for, include positions your child plays, if they did not fill their roster to their needs and want to schedule a private tryout, they will contact you back to schedule one. **If your child has already tried out for us on regular day, please do not contact our staff to schedule a second private tryout*** 

Q: Do positions open up over the winter? or Do you have spring tryouts?

A: Playing for our teams requires a large committment and sometimes players leave to pursue other sports or teams. Our website has a tab "Players Wanted" please check it often for open slots that may be available on a team. On or about March 15th we will release the date for our spring tryout.
