Sign-Up for Tryouts
Tryouts for our competative and developmental teams were held in May. If you are interested in joining mid-season, please reach out to victoria@pcusc.org with your player's first and last name and birth year.
We will connect you with your player's age-group's Head Coach who can confirm if they have any spots currently open.
If they do have a spot available, we'll help get your player registered for a tryout and have them attend one of the the team's regular training sessions as an evaluation. P lease note, each age-group's tryout registration must be opened manually by a member of our staff. Victoria will confirm your registration window once the tryout is coordinated. There is $35 late-registration, non-refundable fee to tryout at our club each season. Player's team fees for the season are due once they are offered a spot following tryouts.

Day-of Tryout Instructions
Please see below for what to bring, how to check-in and other helpful tips to keep in mind during tryouts.
Tip #1: View Parking & Directions
Directions: All tryouts are held at Buckman Field Complex (300 NE 12th Ave, Portland).
Parking: Please give yourself enough time to find a spot, walk to the field and complete check-in. There is only street parking available at this facility.
PLEASE NOTE: The track at Buckman Field is undergoing repairs in July & August and the turf is fenced in. Please see map and instructions below for correct entrance points.
Pedestrian Access to Turf for PCU Campers:
Option 1: Park along 12th Ave (street parking) near the Portland Tennis Center and Franz Bakery. Please DO NOT park in the Tennis Center parking lot. Walk towards the front doors of the Tennis Center and take a left up the stairs, towards the "bubble." Follow the walkway to the field and use openings in fence to cross the track onto the turf.
Option 2 (Only ADA Access): Park along 16th Ave (street parking) and enter the field using the walkway on the north-side of the Buckman Terrace Apartments near the playground.
The entrance by Voodoo Donuts (SE corner) and entrance via the stairs (NE corner) are both closed and will not provide field access.
Tip #2: Come Prepared
We ask that players do not wear PCU or other club's uniforms to tryouts. Please bring a ball (with players name + phone number, legible in sharpie), cleats, shinguards and water bottle. The lost & found is located in our club-house if something is misplaced during tryouts.
Tip #3: Arrive 10-15 Minutes Early to Check-In
Families are welcome to accompany their player to their field but are permitted to watch tryouts from outside the track only (not on the turf please). Please plan to connect with the Head Coach a few minutes before the session starts to introduce yourself.
Tip #4: During Warm-Ups, Put Yourself Out There
During warm-ups, introduce yourself, or ask someone to pass or juggle.
Tip #5: Be Vocal, Be Positive
Communicate during the game play, tell a teammate "nice pass, good tackle," etc.
Tip #6: Relax, it's Okay to Make Mistakes!
You will make mistakes, everyone does, it's okay to make mistakes! Showing how you respond to those mistakes is what matters more.
Tip #7: Listen, But Don't be Afraid to Ask Questions. Most Importantly, Remember, Have Fun!
