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.

At this moment, we will have the following age groups available for the 2025 Fall season (based on birth year):

Boys: 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012

Girls: 2018, 2017, 2016, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2010, 2007-2009

TRYOUT PLAYER REQUIREMENTS

  • Wear soccer cleats and shin guards
  • Bring a soccer ball (U8-U12 = Size 4, U13-U19 = Size 5)
  • Bring enough water for a 1.5 hour session
  • Wear weather appropriate attire as we will hold tryouts rain or shine (excluding extreme or dangerous weather conditions)
  • 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.
  • AP Select’s goal is to form age-pure teams but trying out for one (1) age group higher is allowed in U9 to U16.
  • A player must attend at least one (1) tryout session (for each age group they are trying out for) to get an offer to join the team. It is highly recommended to attend all tryout dates.
    • If a player is injured and cannot participate in the tryout exercises, they must check in and observe the tryout of their age group in order to be eligible.

Please Note: If your player is not selected for an AP Select team, they are still able to register for a recreational team.
