Starting in 2023, we are now offering Video Tryouts in lieu of Private Tryouts to ease the burden of both scheduling and evaluations for both players and staff. Below are the instructions by age group and position.
Preferred format: YouTube or Vimeo link. We can also accept .mp4 files if necessary
Our Evaluation Staff will review the video prior to making selections and will include your notification with the players attending the tryout. We anticipate notifications going out 24-48 hours after the tryouts are completed.
Instructions By Age Group #
The U10-U14 Age Groups will submit a highlight video by skill (regardless of position). Below are the instructions. Live game footage (from previous club experience) is preferred but we can evaluate a skills video as well (footage of the player performing the skill without an opponent).

- Serve Receive/Passing – Passing the ball vs. a server or a free ball
