What Should Players Expect?

1. Each age group will have two 1.5 hour tryout sessions. A third session may be scheduled to ensure the evaluators get a chance to see everyone.

2. The team coaches from the age group will be running the sessions with independent outside evaluators and other Cascade FC head coaches evaluating all players on a numerical standard from 1 (low) to 5 (high). (See Bylaws, Article XII, for more specific info.)

3. Player scores are logged into a computer, and an average score is generated for each player.

4. U12 and older teams may have as many players rostered as allowed by US Club Soccer but only a maximum of 18 players may be rostered on a game day roster; U11 teams will have a roster of 13-14 players; U10 teams will have a maximum roster of 14 players; U9 will have a maximum roster of 12 players.

5. All players will be notified of their placement via their tryout number being posted on the website and/or by the team coach.

What Is Required for Tryouts?

1. Shinguards (mandatory)

2. Field-appropriate shoes (sessions will be on grass and/or turf fields; molded cleats are good for turf surfaces)

3. Water (only water is permitted on the turf fields)

4. Weather appropriate clothing (dress in layers)

5. Copy of birth certificate (if player did not play for Cascade FC last fall)

6. $25.00 made payable to SnVYSA if player did not play under Washington Youth Soccer or US Club Soccer during the 2012/2013 season (indoor soccer, CYO, Boys & Girls Club and/or school soccer does not qualify; this is a mandatory registration fee and not a tryout fee)

7. Do not wear any clothing or uniform pieces from present or past teams that in any way identifies the team or club.

U11 through U14 teams - younger player must place in the top half of the total number of players taken onto a team
