TRYOUT TEAM FORMATIONS
2015 (U9) and 2014 (U10)
Tryouts for 2015 and 2014 teams will occur at the FC Storm training campuses. Teams will be formed from the pool of players who attend the tryout at each location. If there are enough players for multiple teams, players judged to have the highest skills will be placed on the Orange team followed by White, Black and Blue. The teams will carry the campus designation before the color; e.g. FC Storm 2015 Milford Orange. If not enough players attend tryouts at a campus, that group will be combined with players from another campus to form teams. Teams will practice at fields in the community where the tryout occurred.
2013 (U11) through 2009 (U15)
Players of the same birthyear and gender will tryout together. Teams will be created from that club-wide tryout pool. Players will be grouped by similar skill level to form teams. The number of teams will depend on the size of the tryout pool. Players judged to have the highest level of skill will form the Orange team followed by White, Black and Blue.
2009 (U15) through 2005 (U19)
High School aged players will tryout for Spring ONLY teams.
Boys 2009 and Girls 2009 Teams will include a FALL ONLY Team for 8th Graders (‘Trapped 8th Graders’) and a SPRING TEAM. Players not playing high school soccer will be offered a position on the Fall Team.

WHY 48 HOURS TO DECIDE ON AN OFFER?
FC Storm creates teams with minimal extra players to allow players sufficient playing time in games. Without a offer response deadline, in the past some families delayed responding for 5 or more days. That created uncertainty about whether the team had enough players for the team to be formed, impacting the families who had committed to FC Storm.
Attention U7 and U8 Players
Tryouts are not required for our U7 and U8 age groups but you still must register to play. Spring registration has closed, but if you are interested, contact Anthony Doherty at doc@fcstorm to see if there is room for additional players.
