Tryouts
Location:
Eastside Athletics
11435 Lithopolis Rd.
Lithopolis, OH 43136
There are multiple days of tryouts for each age group. Players only need to attend one day. You can attend more than one tryout, but they cannot be on consecutive days. The final decision for the American, Elite, and National teams will be made at the last tryout for each level.
Please arrive at least 15 minutes early so girls are able to change shoes and stretch out before the tryouts begin. Please wear athletic clothing, court shoes and kneepads, and have hair neatly pulled away from the face. No jewelry should be worn. Players are encouraged to bring their own water bottle. There is a water bottle filling station and vending machine available if needed.
There will be information displayed in the commons area: information about the club and the season, a tentative tournament schedule, a copy of the player handbook, etc. Please review these items while your child is trying out. The directors and their assistants will be on hand to answer any questions you may have.
The different age groups/playing levels will be on different courts, and the appropriate coaches will be observing and working with the players.
Contracts will be awarded each of the tryout days. Those who do not receive a contract at the end of the tryout are welcome to return and try out again on the next scheduled tryout day. We may also continue to offer contracts after tryouts as more positions become available. If this happens, you will be contacted by email. The contract guarantees you a position in the club, but is only for a specific team or level if clearly stated on the contract. Regional teams might be separated at practices, while American, Elite, and National teams will typically be decided at tryouts.
The fee for tryouts is $20 (plus processing fee) if paid with the registration prior to tryouts. If you register and/or pay at tryouts, the fee is $25, and only checks or cash are accepted at tryouts. The tryout fee includes a t-shirt.
