FC Delco conducts open tryouts each year for all our teams.   Tryouts are usually held in late Spring or early summer for both Boys and Girls from U-12 to U-18.  Tryouts for our older Teams are usually conducted in the Fall.

 

The mutual commitment between a player and the Club lasts for one year. At the conclusion of the season (usually May or June depending on Cup status and the particular age group), open tryouts will be held. Selection to a team one year does not guarantee that player a place on the team the following year.   Tryouts happen every year, and allow teams to replace players who have dropped off or who have moved on.  Tryouts also allow hardworking and ambitious players, not currently with the Club, who have improved their playing ability, to join stronger or more competitive teams in FC Delco.  Tryouts are successful if players and teams are sorted out so that every player eventually finds a team that has a training and competitive plan that fits the player’s interests and needs, with a budget and time commitment that matches the parent’s willingness to support the player.

 

The announcement of annual tryouts will be made via our website, www.fcdelco.org. The dates, time and venues as well as the number of tryouts will be determined by the Head Coach of each age group. The coaching staff will determine how the tryouts are conducted and the process for selecting the final roster. Of course, player selections are made without regard to race, religion, creed, color, national or ethnic origin.
 
It is highly suggested that all new players wishing to try out for an FC Delco team, contact a member of the FC DELCO coaching staff prior to the first tryout. Also, to be fair to the area soccer community, we suggest that you also contact your current coach to notify them of your desire to attend an FC Delco tryout.
