Registration
New and retuning players need to register for tryouts using the registration link below for the 2024-2025 season.
Tryout Attendance
We strongly encourage players to attend as many tryout dates as possible to maximize the opportunity for their child to showcase their skills. It is recommended that players attend all tryouts
Tryout Attire and Gear
Players are required to wear appropriate soccer attire, including soccer cleats and shin guards. Additionally, each player should bring a water bottle labeled with their name and a soccer ball marked with both their name and phone number.
Player Pool Offer
At Sacramento United for age groups U8-U12, our tryout process is conducted with a practical and holistic approach. We do not evaluate players solely within a four-day tryout window and immediately assign them to teams. Instead, players are assessed for entry and acceptance into our “Player Pool” for their respective age group. Team assignments will occur in mid-June, giving coaches for each age group ample time to thoroughly evaluate each player and determine the most suitable team placement.
Player Evaluations
Players will be assessed based on their technical, tactical, athletic, and psychological attributes, which are demonstrated through their attitude, approach, and performance during tryouts. Our experienced staff will evaluate these qualities using various methods, primarily by observing performance, behavior, and habits throughout the tryout sessions.
“Playing Up”
All players are required to participate in tryouts based on their birth year. Decisions regarding “playing up” opportunities are solely at the discretion of the Sac United coaching staff and Directors.
