Tryout Policy

We expect that all players register and attend all days of tryouts to earn a spot on a team. Tryouts allow our coaches to identify and select players into teams, giving the club the best opportunity to compete at each level. For players, old or new, tryouts are meant for them to justify their playing level within the age group. Children grow and develop at different rates, so we feel that it’s essential to reevaluate the age group each year. That will provide all our players equal opportunities to improve their development. Players will have the opportunity to play up to a higher level during the year if their performance warrants it.

New players who do not attend all days run the risk of being placed on the lowest team, as we will have limited information on your skills and fit within our program. If a returning player is unable to attend all days, their coach will make the placement decision based on past performance and team needs, with permission from MPB Staff.

Any player with an open balance on their account (club fees or team fees) will not be able to try out for the next season until payment has been made in full or a payment plan has been approved by the Board of Directors or its delegate.

  • A:  YES.  All players MUST register online for Tryouts in advance, regardless of attendance at Tryouts. You will not be considered for placement on a team if you are not registered. There is a section in the registration where you can enter details if you will miss tryouts.

    • New players who do not attend all days run the risk of being placed on the lowest team, as we will have limited information on your skills and fit within our program.

    • Returning players are placed at the discretion of their current coach. If a returning player is unable to attend all days, their coach will make the placement decision based on past performance and team needs, with permission from MPB Staff.

  • A:  Players who are injured and unable to participate in Tryouts must register for Tryouts and indicate a medical reason for non-participation.

  • A:  All players will be given a tryout shirt with a unique number, which must be worn to every tryout session.

    Do not wear club uniforms or any clothing showing team affiliation.

  • A: Plenty of water, sunscreen, cleats, shin guards, and an inflated soccer ball of the appropriate size (U9-U12: size 4 / U13 and up: size 5).

  • A:  All players should attend the tryout session of their respective birth year. Opportunities for players to compete in an older age group will be decided by MPB Staff.

  • A:  Not unless approved by MPB Staff in advance of completing season registration. The 2026/2027 teams are a full year commitment. The Fall teams are formed after the 2026 Tryouts from players registered for the 2026/2027 season. 

  • A: If you are eligible for HS soccer you are not required to play Fall soccer. Otherwise, Fall, Winter, and Spring/Summer are required.

  • A: While every effort is made to place each player on a Competitive team, TCSL has roster size restrictions, and the number of players trying out at an age group may prevent placement of every player. All players must be evaluated for placement on a team.

  • A:  Goalkeeper Tryouts will vary by age group.
