Tryout FAQ’s
Which tryout session(s) should I attend?
You should attend both days of tryouts for your age group. Please verify your birth date to ensure you are attending the correct age group’s tryout session. If you have to miss either day of tryouts, we are accepting video submissions to help coaches complete a thorough evaluation.
When are the HP team tryouts?
We will be trying out everyone in a particular age group at one time.
How will athletes be evaluated and selected?
During tryouts there will be multiple coaches evaluating athletes on Skill Level, Athleticism, Coachability/Attitude, Communication, and various other factors. 100% can-do attitude and effort are always expected.
How do I try out for an older age group team?
If a particular athlete desires to play in an older age group and is of sufficient skill-level, please let the evaluating coaches know prior to tryouts.
When will the team offers be released?
We try to release teams as soon as the evaluation is complete and the coaches have had a chance to discuss. There are many athletes and we want to be sure we are giving each athlete a thorough and fair assessment. Please be patient with the process. Offers will go out by the end of November.
