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.
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!
Tip #8: See Information Below About How to Know if Your Player Makes a Team
Thank you again for joining us for tryouts!
How will my player know if they've made a team?
Players who are offered spots will receive the official club invitation via email from SportsConnect (to the email used to register for tryouts) within 48 hours of their tryout, letting them know if they've made a team. Families have 48 hours from the time the invitation is sent to accept their spot and make their first payment.
Players are not committed on a roster until they accept their spot via the offer email and make their first payment. Players are not permitted to attend training until they have officially accepted their spot. If joining mid-season, cost will be prorated based on first practice date.
Coaches will be in contact with accepted players via email within a few days of their tryout with more information, including the age-group's annual calendar and TeamSnap App invitation.
