2021 Spring / Summer League Play Tryouts

Normally tryouts are held in early December at the RCTC Dome.  Due to dome capacity restrictions and to maintain fiscal responsibility, the Board of Directors and staff have decided to host tryouts for the 2021 season in late October.

As an organization, we recognize this might not be the best option for your family, but through a 3-week discussion process, we have found this to be the best option. 

Players wishing to attend tryouts must register for the 2021 season. During the registration process, you must answer "Yes" to the question- will you be attending tryouts. 

Tryouts are only for League Play Teams. Tournament Only teams will not have tryouts.

Tryouts are not required, but highly encouraged. Please find below the dates / times for age group tryouts.

We will have Select teams at U15 for Boys and Girls, U16 Boys and Girls, U17 Boys, U17/18 Boys, and U17/18 Girls.  These teams will be determined through the general tryouts and players resume. Players making these teams will be offered a spot and will have the option to accept or decline.

ALL TRYOUTS ARE HELD AT THE RCTC DOME

Tryout Process

The ultimate goal of tryouts is to have a ranking for every player in the age group completed by our technical staff. 

- As players enter the dome, they are randomly given a number which is loaded into a google spreadsheet.
- Evaluators line up players and cross check numbers with google spreadsheet
- Players are then randomly assigned a team to play on (number of teams and what we play 7v7 / 9v9 are dependent on the number of players signed up)
- We have a minimum of two fields, field A and field B.
- Field A can be considered the higher level of play and field B the lower
- Every 15 minutes players are moved between groups based on their ability
- At the end of the session the evaluators have ranked all players on their field 1-X (there are evaluators for each field and then a senior staff (Neil Cassidy and Angelo Tartaglia) member overseeing)
- Players are thanked and the dismissed 
- Information added to age group spreadsheet to help with the selection process
