We are busy getting ready for the Fall 2023 and Summer 2024 Season! We have renamed our tryout process to Player Identification or Player ID. The purpose of Player ID is to identify kids that want to play soccer for HFC United. We will use the Player ID evaluations as well as birth age and coaches’ evaluations to form teams for our Fall 2023 and Summer 2024 seasons.

Player Identification 

· We cannot place you on a team unless you have registered for Player ID.

· All players must register for Player ID even if you are not able to attend Player ID.

· All players must register and participate in their birth year age group.

· Each player will only participate in one age group's session.

· The fee to register for Player ID is $30 per player.

· Registration must be completed before any player will be allowed on the field. No walk ups on the day of will be allowed.

· All players within age groups that have the potential for more than one team are encouraged to attend Player ID. It may impact your player's team placement.

· Players may not be required to participate in Player ID if player registration is age consistent to form one team.

· Please click this link for the Player ID schedule with date and times by birth year age group.

· Upon the completion of the registration process, if your age group is consistent to form one team your scheduled date and time may be canceled. 

· You will have the option to select what season(s) you are registering for. You can choose from the Fall and Summer season. You can select one, or the other or both.

· Team formation in the Fall may be different from your Summer team formation based upon registration options selected by the player.

 

Team Formation Results, Acceptance and Decline 

· Teams will be formed by birth year, then by coaches’ evaluations, then by Player ID results. 

· If team formation age group constraints require a player to play up the decision will be based upon coaches’ evaluations and then Player ID results. For players that were not required to attend Player ID the decision will be based upon Coaches and DOC evaluations.

· Our DOC is the final decision maker for team formations.

· We strive to maintain our teams and coaching consistency; however, Player ID may require you to be flexible in your players team placement.

· Team formation in the Fall may be different from your Summer team based upon registration options selected by our players.

· Team formation for Fall and/or Summer may change based upon decline options selected by our players.

· Once teams are formed you will be notified and have the option to decline team placement and not be charged the competitive fees. If you do not decline your player within 5 days you will be charged all applicable fees. The $30 Player ID fee is nonrefundable.
