Frequently Asked Questions
Tryout FAQs
How many tryout sessions do I need to attend?
You must register and attend a tryout session to make a team.
You only need to attend one tryout session and we recommend you attend the first session. If you are unable to make the first session, then you may register for the call back/makeup session. An athlete may be called back to the makeup session if the coaching staff would like to see more play. If you are called back to the makeup session you do not need to register and pay again.
Can I tryout for more than one age group?
Yes, but you will have to register and pay the fee for all age groups you are trying out for. If a player wants to tryout for an older age group, they MUST also tryout for their actual age group.
What do I need to bring to tryouts?
Bring your Medical Form, CHRVA membership QR code, athletic shoes, kneepads, and water bottle
Are parents able to watch the tryout process?
Parents are welcome to watch tryouts from outside the gym, but we ask that parents do not distract athletes or coaching staff.
What if I’m injured or sick during the tryout dates?
We recognize that illness and injury happen, and we will address each situation on a case-by-case basis. Please email our Assistant Director, Nick Collins, with any concerns: nick.collins@thestjames.com
Can I attend other clubs’ tryouts?
Yes, you may attend tryouts for as many clubs as you like.
How will I know if I make a team?
Tryout numbers will be posted on each team page on our website, and you will receive a phone call and an offer letter via email.
Do I have to accept an offer before hearing from other clubs?
It you receive an offer from The St. James, we request that families respond as soon as they know their decision, in order to expedite the team selection process.
However, CHRVA rules indicate that your offer stands and is available for consideration until the end of the Open Tryout Period.
