Tryout Information

Rising 16U-19U Girls

Tryouts for 2025-2026 Teams

CSA is currently accepting registrations for tryouts for our rising 16U-19U girls teams, including our Elite Clubs National League (ECNL) National and Regional League teams, Development Player League (DPL) teams, Elite 64 teams, and our USYS classic teams. All other age groups will try out in May. Information for May tryouts will be posted in late March.

If you are new to CSA this season, we recommend reviewing our club and program information prior to registering for tryouts. The Club and Program Information provides details on our programs, regions, levels of play and player development pathway for each age group.

All players, new and returning, are required to attend tryouts to be considered for placement on a CSA team. We strongly recommend attending both scheduled sessions for your tryout group. If the player has a schedule conflict, please register for tryouts and contact your coach or DOC with the information and plan to attend as much of each session possible.

Please note: Teams for each section will be selected from the tryout registrations for that section. You must attend tryouts for the section/program where you wish to play on a team. Please register for only one tryout program. If you plan to attend more than one tryout, register for the highest level program.
