Tryouts for our Pre-Academy and Academy teams take place in June, for the following soccer year. A full year runs from August through July. With each new year, players move up one year in age. Tryouts are required for new players and players currently on teams. The process and offer dates are determined by our state organization, WYSA.
If you’re interested in joining our club outside of the tryout period, please contact us to make arrangements with one of our directors. Players can submit their tryout interest at any time.

Birth Year & Season Matrix
When determining the age group for a season, the year the season ends should be used for determining the birth year. Also, note that the format “age followed by U” means that age and younger. For example, 8U means 8 and younger. For more age-group information please reference U.S. Soccer’s Player Development Initiatives.
