Before Tryouts

BEFORE TRYOUTS:

  • Make sure your athlete is well rested and hydrated BEFORE each tryout session.
  • Please use the restroom BEFORE coming to tryouts.  We can’t guarantee the facilities will be unlocked and available. 
  • Discuss with your family the commitment level and cost of club soccer and make sure it is a good fit for your family and your athlete BEFORE committing to the team/club. 

  • Try not to add any extra pressure to your child BEFORE, during or after tryouts. 

WEATHER AND FIELD UPDATES:

  • Any last minute changes due to inclement weather or standing water on fields will be communicated via alert through Team Snap and on our Facebook, Instagram & Twitter pages.

Note: Due to possible last minute changes, always check the tryout/evaluation schedule above and USC Social Media accounts prior to traveling to the fields.

  • Parents are welcome to stay and watch DURING tryouts, however, all USC policies regarding sideline coaching and distractions will be enforced.
  • Spectators should stay away from the sidelines and immediate area of the staff and players DURING tryouts.  Crowded sidelines can create undo stress and unwanted distractions for players.
