What do I (parent/guardian) need to bring to tryouts?
Complete and submit the on-line registration form to fill out prior to tryouts. (Each player will receive a number at tryouts).
The form is located to the right of this page, Online registration form.
*All new players: You will need to bring a copy of the child’s birth certificate for validation of the correct age group, and if you have health insurance you will need that information for the medical waiver. A pen would be very helpful.
What does my child need to bring to tryouts?
They should be dressed in clothing appropriate for the weather, with socks covering their shin guards, and cleats when they report to the field. Bring a ball and more water than you think you need. There is no water at the field, but there is a 7-Eleven nearby.
What age group can my child tryout out for?
All players will report to the evaluator for their age (see the age matrix) and gender appropriate group, regardless of where they played the previous season. Players are evaluated based on their skills for their age group and how they relate to their peers.
What if my child wants to “play up”?
Parents/guardians may petition the board for permission for their child to play up an age group. The player will be evaluated by the EPIC Director of Coaching (or their designated representative), the Coach of the age appropriate team, and the Coach of the next age group up to determine what would be best for the development of the player.
Tryouts will be held May 28th to May 31st, 2013
