TRYOUT EDITION
May is here and that brings us to the end of the season, tournaments and tryouts. On page 2 of this newsletter you will find a summary of the tryout information for this year. Your child is encouraged to try-out and play for teams that are compatible with their desires, temperament, personality, residence, experience, ability and provides them as much playing time as is reasonable practicable. Remember that you are committing to play on the team you register with for the entire year and that the Duke City League fee is non-refundable.
If this is your first tryout, your child should be dressed in shorts, shin guards and soccer cleats. They should bring a ball and water to drink during breaks. All of the tryouts have a time prior to the actual tryout to record personal data. There may be long lines so come early.
Rules for Tryouts
No player may be contacted by anyone other than his or her own team until May 19, 2007. They can not practice with another team prior to tryouts without the permission of their current coach.
Players may be offered a spot on a team after May 19 at 6:00 pm. However, nothing is binding until the official registration forms are filled out and turned into the Duke City office. These forms will be available on June 9 from the club registrars.
No teams are allowed to practice during the times tryouts are being held for their age groups.
Players should be able to attend all tryouts prior to having to make a decision. They should not be discouraged or intimidated from attending any or all of the tryouts.
Rules for Transferring
Transfers within clubs (from one club team to another team in the same club) are allowed throughout the year.
Transfers between different clubs are only allowed between December 15 and January 15.
Good luck and have a great summer.
