What are tryouts for?
We use tryouts each year to form teams for the upcoming soccer year, which for most age groups, includes a Fall Season (Aug-Oct) and a Spring Season (Mar-May). The programming varies by age group.
What if we can’t make the tryout dates?
Still register, but note your conflicts and we’ll look for alternatives.
Returning Cincy SC Players – Still Register!
Players that were with Cincy SC in 2020-21 still need to register and should attend tryouts for 2021-22. Attitude, behavior, development, and play over the past year are considered in addition to performance at tryouts.
New Players
We have several spots available at each age group for new players. Last year, 243 new players joined Cincy SC! The tryout process allows our coaches to meet new players and for the players to get a better idea of what Cincy SC coaches and players are like.
Age Range: 2003-2015
Born after 2015? Consider our Juniors program (5-8 year-olds).
Born before 2003? We probably don’t have a team for you (but you can check out our Adult Teams).
More Info About Cincy SC Tryouts
Tryouts shouldn’t be stressful. At Cincy SC, we try to ensure that every player has fun, learns something new, and gets a cool t-shirt with their name on the back. We’ve been told our tryouts “have a different vibe than others.” Come see why!
Multiple days are offered to provide you with more options. Players don’t have to come every day, but they are encouraged to come to two or more.
Every year at tryouts, we look to build on a strong core, recruit new talent, and find the best development environment for each player. We have 2 competitive teams at our U13 and older age groups, and 3 competitive teams for our U12 and younger teams.
Tryouts typically occur just after Memorial Day (end of May) for the soccer year that runs from Fall-Spring (Aug. – May). The timing of when we can hold tryouts and officially offer players is dictated by the state association (OSA) and its leagues.
