ESSENTIAL INFORMATION

Parents are expected to read and understand TCYSA’s Tryout Policy, Payment Policy and Codes of Conduct prior to registering a player for tryouts. These documents and other pertinent information can be found here.
Except for 8 year-olds wishing to tryout for U10 Challenge, any player wishing to play on a team above his or her age group must get permission from TCYSA’s Director of Coaching or his designee. To request permission, email paulforster@twincitysoccer.com with “TCYSA Tryouts: Request to play up” in the Subject Line. All requests must be made at least 72 hours prior to the first night of the player’s regularly scheduled session.
In Joint tryout sessions, Classic teams will be selected first before players are released for Challenge selection. Players will not be required to attend a second set of tryout sessions to be selected for a Challenge team.
Tryout sessions are two nights and last 1 hour and 45 minutes each night. Players are expected to come to both sessions and be on time.

ALL PARENTS are required to bring the following to check-in the first night of their tryout session or the player will not be allowed to take the field:

  • Tryout fees, if unpaid.
  • A copy of the player’s Birth Certificate (for all players).
  • A completed and notarized NCYSA Medical Consent & Waiver of Liability and Release Form (http://www.ncsoccer.org/Forms/07_medical_consent_waiver.pdf).
  • A 1-by-1-inch head shot for the player’s NCYSA registration card (similar to a driver’s license photo). The player’s first and last name and birth date should be written on the back.

ALL PLAYERS are required to bring the following to both tryout sessions or he or she will not be allowed to take the field:

  • A properly inflated soccer ball, sized appropriately for his or her age of play.
  • Shin guards and soccer cleats.
  • A water bottle with at least 16 ounces of fluid.
