FAQs
Players should plan to attend all tryouts listed for the age group. Attendance at at least one tryout is required for selection to the team, but players should attend as many tryouts as they can so the coaches will have a better opportunity to evaluate them..
The tryout fee is a one-time cost and covers all tryout sessions for an age group. There are no refunds, even if you decide not to attend tryouts. We will notify you of any changes.
