Club-Wide Tryouts for Existing Teams and New Team Formation
2010-05-30
Alpine FC is holding club-wide tryouts for existing teams and new team formation for Boys and Girls U8 (born after 8/1/2002)
All Alpine FC teams welcome prospective players to try out for our teams. A list of specific tryout days/times/locations is listed below. Please contact the manager or coach of teams not listed below to see when you might join a practice.
We ask that all players interested in joining an Alpine FC team PREREGISTER for tryouts on the Alpine FC ONLINE REGISTRATION page. Please print and bring the form with you to the tryouts. Current AFC players do not need to preregister.
To find out more about Alpine FC and club soccer, you can look on the following pages of the website: New Teams Forming, About Us, and For Parents. If you still have questions, you also might want to download the AFC Parent Handbook. Alpine FC club-wide tryouts for fall season for new and existing competitive teams will take place during the month of May. All Alpine FC teams are professionally-coached and practice 2 times per week and play weekend games. Multi-sport athletes are encouraged to join.
For the youngest ages (U8 & U9), the Club's philosophy is to try to offer a space for every child wishing to play competitive soccer. We call this "new team formation" rather than tryouts because at the youngest ages we believe all local players should have a place to play. Sometimes we don't have the right numbers for a team, but we will continue the Alpine Attack and other skills classes for any children wishing to receive superior coaching in an Academy environment. We will also offer our After-School Program, a more low-key program for recreational players wishing to improve their skills.
If you are trying out for an existing team, you should contact the manager to attend a regular practice. This allows the prospective player the best opportunity to see and be seen by the coach and the entire team. You can find the contact information by using the pulldown menu to select the team and selecting "Coaching Staff."
We hope to have at least two teams per age group; players are grouped by skill level (Red, Blue and Gold) so each player can develop at an appropriate pace. We are adding the following new teams (2010-2011 age groups):
GU8 NEW TEAM (girls born after 8/1/2002) BU8 NEW TEAM (boys born after 8/1/2002)
Alpine FC has an alliance with MP Strikers; the MP Strikers Tryouts are listed here.
