As we approach our first tryout this week, please note that our top priority and the most important consideration has and always will be the health and safety of our athletes, coaches, and families.

Please stay home if you are sick - we all love the game, but one sick child or family member could end the season for the entire Club. Please do your part!

Due to restrictions related to how many people can gather at/on the field at one time, we kindly request that parents stay in their cars and drop off their players for tryouts.

Please review and plan to follow the detailed instructions outlined below:

• Please arrive 10 minutes before tryout to allow for check in and preparation  
• Each player needs to arrive wearing a face covering and prepared to play (cleats on, shin guards in, hair up, no jewelry/earrings, etc.
  
• Once players exit their cars they should head directly to the check-in tent, where they will be assigned, by the Coaches, to a training station.
