Do current NEFC players have to tryout? register online?
Yes and yes.
Should players attend all tryouts?
It is recommended and extremely beneficial to attend all tryouts. This gives the NEFC coaching staff an opportunity to evaluate you on multiple occasions allowing for a greater understanding of a player’s abilities. If the player is only able to make one tryout it is very important you let the coach know so they can prepare appropriately.
Some teams have call backs. What is the call back for?
In some age groups we will have multiple teams and many players trying out. The call back is for coaches to take another look at specific players.
When will we know if our son/daughter made the team?
Players will be notified within 2 days of the final tryout with one of three responses:
1) You are offered a roster spot on the roster and asked to register within 48 hours.
2) The coach would like to see you again and invite you to a call back.
3) You were not offered a spot on the roster.
How many teams will there be in each age group?
This will vary by age group - review the website for this years teams or contact the coaching director.

Yes, this will allow us to prepare for expected numbers, and keep you informed of any changes. It will also expedite the sign in process when you arrive.
Can my child attend tryouts in multiple regions? If so, does my child need to register for each program?
In order to tryout in a region other than your own, you must contact the appropriate Age Group Coordinator.
Can my child tryout for an older team?
You must contact the appropriate Age Group Coordinator. It is not our policy to allow players to play up unless it is clear that playing up would be in the player's best interests and they are good enough to do so.
How does the uniform process work?
There will be uniforms available to try on at various locations during tryouts. Uniforms can be ordered directly through Eurosport and Adidas during the team registration process. This occurs after the player has been offered a spot on a roster.
If I get offered a spot, when do I need to pay?
A deposit is required to place a player on a roster, so once you are offered a roster spot on a team you will need to make the deposit within 24-48 hours.
