Question related to all U11 - U18 players
The Tryout Process
Players are required to arrive on time for the tryouts, on-site registration will begin 45 minutes before the tryout
start date. To save time, please complete the online registration form. On the first day, each player will be given a numbered card to pin to their shirt. The trainers will have a list of players’ names and numbers. Each player should wear the same number for both tryout sessions. Players will be required to check in for the 2nd day of tryouts
How do I know if my player made the team?
Following the tryouts, the trainers will meet to discuss the individual players. The trainers will
decide which players will be assigned to which teams. All new players that have been successful in making a team will be called. Player numbers will also be posted on the club website within 24 hours of the final try out. Returning players will be called or emailed. Offers will be made within 24 hours of the final try out.
If my player is selected for a team, what do I need to do next?
Turn in your commitment form to claim your spot. The commitment form will be available
on the website. Your spot is not secured until we receive the commitment form and your non refundable deposit.
More information coming soon.
Will all the teams have trainers?
Every team has a trainer. SA United employs the professional trainers of World Wide Soccer.
Who will manage our team?

have no minimum requirements; however, we encourage our trainers and coaches to play each
