SF SOL Competitive Tryouts are how every SFYS Premier and NorCal Premier roster gets built each season — whether she's moving up from Recreational, coming from another club, or trying competitive soccer for the first time.

Every session follows the same format, about 75 minutes start to finish, so coaches can see how she plays inside real match play (7v7, 9v9, or 11v11 depending on age group). It's built to feel like the start of something, not a test she either passes or fails — here's exactly what to expect:

WHO SHOULD TRY OUT

Current SF SOL Recreational players ready to move up, players coming from other clubs, and players brand-new to competitive soccer are all welcome to register.

Tryout questions

Do I need to try out for every program?
No — only Competitive team placement (SFYS Premier and NorCal Premier) requires tryouts. Micro, Recreational, and Camps are open registration. See Tryouts for the Competitive process.
What if we can't make the tryout date?
Reach out right away to schedule a makeup session — see Tryouts. One missed Sunday shouldn't be the reason she doesn't get seen.
What actually happens at an SF SOL tryout?
About 75 minutes, start to finish: a welcome and introduction to our coaches and philosophy, a dynamic warm-up, a technical and passing assessment, small-sided games, and a full-sided game for her age group so coaches see her inside real match play. Every session closes with shout-outs and takeaways for every player — it should feel like the start of something, not a pass/fail test. Plan to check in 20–30 minutes before her session.
Who runs the tryouts?
The same licensed, professional coaches who'll run her practices all season — not a stranger with a clipboard she'll never see again. Tryouts are the start of a relationship with her coaches, not a one-time evaluation.
Does it cost anything to try out?
No — tryouts are free to register.
How soon do we hear back after tryouts?
Offers go out within 48 hours, and you'll have a short window to confirm her spot. Reach out anytime before then with questions.
