Phase 1 Age Cohorts – April 8th-14th:
- Players have 4 training sessions over a week with their birth year cohort
- During this time players have the chance to get comfortable being back on the field and reconnected with all players of the same age
- FDSA Staff Coaches lead these 4 training sessions whilst team head coaches and assistant coaches observe
Phase 2 Team Specific – April 15th-21st: - For the Rest of tryouts Team coaches will lead sessions with FDSA staff coaches observing and supporting
- After observation during Phase 1 age cohorts, the coaches will place players who qualify in tryout groups for specific teams based on player registration

Phase 3 Team Selection – April 22nd-26th - Team Coaches and FDSA Staff coaches will work together to finalize and select team rosters for the season

Why update the tryout process?

- More opportunity for evaluation of teams and overall player placement
- Selection remains open & transparent, and continues to allow players to select which levels they want to be considered for
