Tryouts

Tryouts for boys in the U16-U19 age groups take place in the winter because the soccer season for their individual high schools coincides with spring tryout dates for all other age groups.

MRFC requires players to accept or decline their offer within 24 hours of receiving their offer.

We understand there is always a chance of missing tryouts due to illness or injury. Most likely we can schedule a different time for your player to be assessed or if a returning player coaches will talk with the player’s parents and past coaches to learn more about their playing history and what levels and teams they have previously played with to determine their best fit at MRFC in lieu of participation in tryouts. Please reach out to us so we can work with you: tryouts@mtrainierfc.org

All players will be evaluated based on the MRFC Pillars of Individual Development (Game, Ball, Body, Mind and the 5th Pillar) which encompass the players ability to outplay their opponent, eagerness to learn and love for the game. MRFC Staff is committed to a continuous development pathway, therefore returning players MRFC are more familiar with that individual players development journey and will consider not just the tryout dates.

Yes. All players who would like to be considered on a competitive team need to attend a tryout.

It is highly recommended that players attend both sessions for their age group. If a player is unable to do so, please notify a staff member and/or evaluator at check-in.

• Session One involves a full warm up, technical carousel where every player has the opportunity to showcase their technical ability, followed by soccer games.
• Session Two involves games for understanding games. This is a great opportunity for players to showcase their knowledge of the game and how they apply their technical skills into competition.
