2007 - 2008 National Team Tryout Information

We will field teams in each age group (18, 17, 16, 15, and 14) this year (if there are not enough players in an age group we may combine that age group with a higher age group).

Tryouts will take place over two sessions to allow players to go through some physical tests and to demonstrate their skills.   Players are only required to attend one of the tryout sessions and should try to attend the other session to give coaches the best chance to correctly evaluate them. 

National Team Tryouts will be held at the Greensboro Sportsplex.

Sunday, November 4th from 1:30 - 4:30 PM at the Greensboro Sportsplex.

Monday, November 5th from 6:30 - 9:00 PM at the Greensboro Sportsplex.

Team Notification - Spots will be offered following each tryout session.
