Tryouts for 2025-2026 Teams
Registration is open for tryouts for our 2025-2026 teams!
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.
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 your players for only one tryout program. If you plan to attend more than one tryout, register for the highest level program.
