Tryout Information for Parents

For competitive soccer, the entire playing year starts at tryouts. OP Soccer Club and every club in the region will hold tryouts the second weekend of June. Everyone wishing to play competitive soccer through OP Soccer Club needs to attend tryouts unless you’ve worked out specific permission through your coach.

Fall 2023/Spring 2024 Age Group Chart – Teams are organized by birth year

All players are welcome to attend tryouts, whether or not they have ever played for OP Soccer Club. Players looking for a new team will be identified for all coaches within the age group to meet and evaluate. From there, all coaches in the age group will work together to find the best placement for as many players as possible in that age group.

Each year brings many changes for players across the region. Coaches, members of the OP Soccer Club Coaching Committee and OP Soccer Club board members will be available throughout the entire process to answer any questions you might have.
