How should my child prepare for a tryout?

    First confirm the registration deadline, the tryout fee, any forms (such as health information and a waiver), and how many tryout sessions there are. On the day, bring proper shoes and clothing, water and a snack, and arrive early to warm up. Coaches usually look beyond skills at attitude, effort, listening and teamwork. Make sure your child sleeps well, and avoid suddenly increasing training right before. You can set up email reminders for tryouts and registration deadlines on the site calendar, or subscribe to the calendar on your phone.

Forum rules

  • Share first-hand experience; say which year and age group.
  • No children's names, photos, schools or jersey numbers, and nothing that identifies a child.
  • Never name a referee. Coaches can be reviewed on their coach page; in the forum, talk about practices, not people.
  • No phone numbers, emails, addresses or screenshots of private messages.
  • Safety, abuse or harassment: contact the proper body. We don't judge such allegations in the forum.

Posts from new accounts are checked before they appear; established members post straight away and are checked afterwards. Reports that a post identifies a child, names a referee or makes a serious allegation hide it until a moderator decides. Full policy · Where to report safety concerns
