Registration Information
Important Notes for All Tryout Registrations!
CSA is moving to a new registration platform: LeagueApps. In effect for all tryout registrations – all families must use the registration link in the dropdown list to begin registration by creating a new account in the LeagueApps system during registration. Be prepared to upload your player’s birth certificate or passport!
US Youth Soccer is returning to seasonal-year age divisions for 2026-2027. New age ranges are listed below. Players must register in their true age group. All requests to register for an older age group must be approved by the DOC in advance. If you have questions, please reach out to your Director of Coaching.
• 19U: 8/1/2007-7/31/2008
• 18U: 8/1/2008-7/31/2009
• 17U: 8/1/2009-7/31/2010
• 16U: 8/1/2010-7/31/2011
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/program 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.
