What to expect

How tryouts work

Tryouts evaluate your ability to perform within structure — not just talent in isolation.

  • Small-sided competitive play
  • Technical drills under pressure
  • Full-field competitive matchups
  • Decision-making & positioning assessment

We evaluate how you play with and without the ball.

WHAT WE’RE EVALUATING

  • Game IQ
  • Defensive responsibility
  • Work rate & conditioning
  • Tactical discipline
  • Competitive mentality
  • Ability to adapt within fluid roles

This is not highlight football.
Fit matters as much as skill.

SELECTION PROCESS
