Will my player receive communication after the summer tryouts regarding the player pool? Yes, every player will receive communication after the summer tryouts, whether they make the player pool or not.

When will players know their team and coach? Team placements and coach assignments will be finalized after the November tryouts. Players will know their team and coach by November 12th.

Can I back out if I don’t like the team placement after receiving a summer offer? Yes, new this season: if you’re unhappy with the team placement after the fall tryouts, you can opt out and receive a full refund of any deposit or player dues paid.

What happens after a summer offer is received? If your player receives a summer offer, you’ll pay a $300 deposit to secure their roster spot. We’ll work with each player/parent individually to set up a payment plan for the remaining season fees.

What happens after a November tryout offer? Upon accepting a November offer, you’ll pay the $300 deposit, and a payment plan for the remaining season fees will already be in place.

What if my player doesn’t receive an offer? If your player doesn’t receive a summer offer, they should return for the November tryouts. If no offer is made in November, we’ll explore placing them in our Travel-Lite or local program.

Do you know the coaches for the season? Yes, we have a strong sense of our National Team coaches:

• 15-Red: Selena Bryan
• 16-Red: Jennifer Bartlett
• 17-Red: Rick Pemble
• 18-Red: Will Mcall and Brian Martin If we form a second team in any age group, we’ll ensure coaches are named with the offer.

What is the cost of tryouts? The tryout fee is $30, covering both summer and November tryouts. This fee is non-refundable.
