Tryouts for 2026-2027 Teams
Registration is open for tryouts for our 2026-2027 teams!
Tryout schedules for all programs and locations are listed below. 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 pages provide 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.
Important Notes for All Tryout Registrations!
• Online registration will close on the Friday before the first tryout date for the program.
• CSA has moved to a new registration platform: LeagueApps. In effect for all tryout registrations – all families must use the registration links provided to begin registration in the LeagueApps system. Most families will need to create an account. 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 linked 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.
