Tier 1 is intended for players with experience competing at the TCSL Regional level or higher. Players without this background may still register for Tier 1, but families should understand the higher level of competition, training expectations, and commitment required.

Current Tier 1 competition levels include:

Girls:

• ECNL Regional League (ECNL-RL
• National 1
• TCSL Regional

Boys:

• MLS NEXT Academy Division
• ECNL Regional League (ECNL-RL)
• National 1
• TCSL Regional

Players whose experience is primarily below these levels are generally encouraged to register for Tier 2, where they can be evaluated and placed in the most appropriate environment for their development.

Yes. Players may register for both Tier 1 and Tier 2 tryouts. However, to be considered for placement in a specific tier, the player must attend that tier’s designated tryout sessions.

If a player is offered and accepts a position on a Tier 1 team, they will no longer be expected to attend Tier 2 tryouts.  If not participating in Tier 2 tryouts due to accepting a Tier 1 position, your registration fee for Tier 2 will be refunded.

Tryout results are communicated to families within 72 hours of the completion of Day 2 tryouts for the player's age group.

Please note that offers for top-level teams may be communicated first. Because acceptance decisions at the highest levels can affect roster openings and placement opportunities throughout the rest of the age group, some player notifications may be released in phases as the evaluation and placement process is finalized.

To ensure fairness and consistency in the evaluation process, individual tryout scores, rankings, evaluator notes, and feedback will not be shared. Families will receive notification of one of the following outcomes:

• An offer to join a team
• Placement on a waitlist for further consideration

We appreciate your patience as our staff works to place every player in the most appropriate developmental environment.

A waitlist indicates that all current roster spots within the age group have been offered and accepted, and there are not enough additional players at this time to form another team.

Players placed on the waitlist remain under consideration, and roster movement can occur as families make final decisions regarding team offers. If a roster spot becomes available, waitlisted families will be notified as soon as possible.

While placement from the waitlist cannot be guaranteed, we will continue to evaluate roster needs and communicate any updates promptly.

No. Parents are expected to check their player in and then leave the facility for the duration of the tryout.

Viewing tryouts from your vehicle, surrounding areas of the park, adjacent fields, or any other location is strictly prohibited. Our staff works hard to create an environment where players can perform independently and be evaluated fairly without outside influence or distraction.

Failure to comply with this policy may affect your player's placement within the club. We appreciate your cooperation and support in providing the best possible evaluation environment for all players.
