How should my child prepare for a tryout?

- EditorsBest answerFirst 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.
