Tryouts

Legion FC is more forgiving in the younger age groups. This is to create player pools so players can learn around other competitive players in an environment where they can learn at a faster rate. This is because in the younger age groups, players are still very young and in time, can develop into a much stronger player.

In the older age groups, determinations for the 1st , 2nd or 3rd team are often based around the number of players available.

***Players that do not get offered a roster spot will be offered $20 credit to apply
towards our Rec, SDA or High School Development League.

In the Academy age groups, U8-U11, we prefer to look at each age group as a large ‘pool’ of players on a path of long-term player development. The goal is to create highly competitive 11v11 teams at the U13 age group and above. Within each age group U8-U11 we typically try to form 2 or 3 tiers labeled Elite, Premier, Classic.

You will be sent an email through our registration system with an acceptance link. It will be sent to the email you used to register for tryouts. All you must do is ‘accept’ the position and you will then be prompted to secure your spot by making your first payment and signing any electronic forms / waivers.

Acceptance to a team must be made within 48 hours of the emails sent out. After 48 hours, your roster spot may be given to an alternate player who did not make the roster.

In Academy, all teams will play 2 or 3 games on a given Saturday throughout the
season. For these games, the club director for Legion FC and the opposing clubs try to balance out the skill levels. These teams typically play 6 Saturdays throughout the season, with 1/3 of them being “home”.

For the SCCL and NL teams they travel throughout the state on Saturdays and Sundays for league games. The travel distance is dependent upon the level of the team.

“Select” is the name given to our competitive soccer program for players in the U12-U19 age group range. Legion FC offers two different programs for “Select” level players: SCCL and National League.

For this next soccer year (Fall 25 / Spring 26) that will be for players with birth years
between 2011 - 2007.
To be eligible for this program, players must try out.
