Assessments:

Players interested in the Academy Program must participate in an Academy Player Assessment.  This is not a "tryout" process resulting in a player being cut.  Rather, it is an opportunity for players, parents, and coaches to assess the suitability of the program to the player's stage of development and to determine if Academy placement is suitable.

The Initial Assessments will be hosted in May of each year, however, we will also host Supplemental Assessments in August (for the Fall Season) and February (for the Spring Season) for those that missed the Initial Assessments in May.  **If your player has missing both Initial and Supplemental Assessments, we will have an Individual Assessment on a case by case basis**

After the Initial Assessments, we will send out "Acceptance Emails" into the VFA Youth Academy Program.  This will include all of the paperwork for the full year.  Specific Team Assignments will be announced after the Second Assessment in August.

In order to complete your registration and ensure player eligibility, it is important that all of the "Registration Forms and Steps" are completed:

For participation, all players are required to register online, registration is at the bottom of this page, and upload a copy of their players birth certificate. If you are a returning player, we should have a birth certificate on file and there is no need to supply a new one. Birth certificates can be uploaded when you're completing the player registration.

Walk-ups are accepted on the day of Tryouts but it is highly recommended you register beforehand to ensure you are able to have a quick Check-in process.  If you are choosing the "Walk-up" registration, there will be a form you will need to complete, pay for the $30 Tryout Fee, and provide a Copy of your players Birth Certificate.  If you do not have your players Birth Certificate, they will NOT be able to participate in tryouts.

For Returning players, all account balances, including the following: recreation fees, travel/youth academy fees, tournament fees, and/or sibling fees, MUST be paid in FULL before you are allowed to try out.  If you have a past due balance of any kind, you WILL NOT be allowed to try out.  To help ensure a quick "Check-in Process", please visit your account homepage and check your account balance.
