TRYOUT FAQ
HOW DO I SIGN UP FOR TRYOUTS?
Online registration is available through the Kitsap Alliance website (www.kitsapalliancefc.com). We strongly encourage you to pre-register for two reasons. First, it helps facilitate an easier check-in on the first day of your tryout. Secondly, it helps the coaching and evaluating staff to more properly prepare their sessions. If you are unable to register online, walk-up registrations are allowed. Be advised that online registration closes 24 hours prior to the first day/night of any scheduled tryout.
WHEN WILL I HAVE TO COMMIT TO THE TEAM AND WHAT HAPPENS AFTER I COMMIT?
We ask that every player that is trying out for a Kitsap Alliance team be ready to commit to the team upon receiving an offer. This will speed up the process for everyone else in the age group. Decisions must be made within 24 hours as there are players that will be offered a spot should one decline an offer. Acceptance of a roster spot is confirmed ONLY when the commitment paperwork and fee are received.
WHAT IF I AM SICK OR IF I HAVE TO MISS TRYOUTS?
In the case of all unavoidable conflicts, please contact our director of coaching. He will advise you on how best to proceed.
DO I HAVE TO ATTEND ALL OF THE TRYOUT SESSIONS?
The more sessions you attend, the greater the opportunity you have to exhibit your skills to the head coach and the staff of evaluators. For this reason, we strongly recommend that you attend each of the sessions in your age group. You must attend at least one session. If there is a major and unavoidable conflict with the dates and times of your age group sessions, please contact our director of coaching. Arrangements can be made to provide you the opportunity to try out. In some circumstances, a supplemental session may be scheduled. It is imperative that, even if you are planning to miss a session(s), you still register online! When you are attending the second and third night of tryouts, please make sure that your player number is the same as on all previous nights.
CAN I PLAY FOR AN OLDER TEAM?
One of the goals of our club is to make sure that each player is placed on a team not necessarily based on age but on ability. It is in every player’s best interest, from a soccer development standpoint, to play with players of like-ability. For this reason, if the Kitsap Alliance technical staff determines that it is in your best interest to play up a year, a decision can be made at that time. If you are new to the club, please make sure that the staff knows if you are at a session and are attempting to play up a year.
