 2016 FC Tucson Youth Academy Tryouts


More Info

When are the tryouts?

May 24th, 25th, and 26th, 2016 at Kino North Soccer Complex.  Tryouts begin each day at 5:30 PM and finish by 7:00 PM.  Please arrive 30 minutes prior to each session to check in with staff.

What age groups are available?

FC Tucson will be offering current U14-U19 age groups.  Birth year 2004-1997 will be eligible for the FCTYA.  FC Tucson prides itself on following the US Development Academy system with 2 year age groups.  If your son/daughter plays in a odd year (U13, U15, U17) they are welcome to tryout and will have the same opportuntiy, but playing with older players.  They may play in the same Academy group for two years.

When does the FCTYA start and end?

The FCTYA will begin June 1, 2016 and end July 14th, 2016.  All age groups will train on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays at Kino from 5:30-7:00PM. 

How many players will be selected per age group?

FCT Academy staff will be selecting 18-20 players per age group.  Additional players may be added as alternates when team members cannot attend.

What if I have a vacation?  

FCT does not hold vacations against a player.  However, like any sports team when trainings are missed, other players will get opportunities to show their ability.  

Will games be played?  

FCTYA will be playing games throughout the summer.  They will be classified as scrimmages and will be set up at the age group coaches discretion.

What are my transport/parking options for getting to the event?

Please park in the YMCA parking lot.  You can reach it off of E. Ajo Way by heading down Forgeus Road, at the intersection with the pedestrian bridge.
 
What do I need to bring?
 
U14's and U16's will need shinguards, shorts and socks. You will receive an FC Tucson shirt at tryouts to be worn as a training shirt.  Please bring an appropriate sized ball and a water bottle.  FC Tucson will provide plenty of water to refill and some balls for training.
U19's will be provided with a training kit and will have use of a locker room.  The U19's may be playing games on a more consistent basis and some will get the opportunity to train with the FCT first team (Men and Women).
 
Who will be running the tryout?
 
The tryout will be run by the FC Tucson Academy Coaching Staff, overseen by General Manager, Jon Pearlman. The tryout will consist of drills and scrimmages.
