TRYOUTS
Tryouts for our Pre-Academy and Academy teams typically occur in May. A full year spans August through July, with players moving up one year in age annually (see age matrix). Tryouts are required for all players. South Carolina Youth Soccer, our state organization, determines the process and offer dates. If you’re interested in joining our club outside the tryout period, contact us to make arrangements with one of our Directors. Players can express tryout interest at any time.
