AP SELECT TRYOUTS
AP Select is designed for players looking to take the next step into Competitive Soccer. Every year, AP Select is open to new and returning players. Tryouts and evaluations are conducted to determine placement on our teams. Players will go through soccer related exercises and small sided games allowing coaches to evaluate their skill sets and determine the appropriate level of placement.
The tryout times typically are staggered by boys/girls and by age group. Once you register for tryouts, you will receive regular emails and updates regarding schedules and times of tryouts.
There is no cost to try out.
Any player who doesn’t make an AP Select team will still be able to register for Recreational soccer if desired. If you’ve already paid the recreational soccer fee and successfully make a Select team, credit for any fees paid are applied to the Select team registration fees.

- All players under the age of 18, on or before the tryout date, must have a parent or guardian accompany the player to check-in to be able to participate in the tryout.

- A player must attend at least one (1) tryout session (for each age group they are trying out for) in order to get an offer to join the team. It is highly recommended to attend all tryout dates.
