Tryouts
What are tryouts?

How are club teams chosen?
For 10U, 11U, and 12U athletes, players are invited to be a part of the club at the conclusion of tryouts. They will be evaluated on general skills first and then participate in live play competition/drills. During the Fall, they will participate in a 6 week league and at the conclusion of the league will be placed on teams. A combination of all of these evaluations and intangibles (effort, attitude, etc.) are all factors in team placement.

Age Groups
what age group should my player try out for?
The age group that an athlete tries out for is determined by USAV (the governing body for most clubs in the country). Houston Skyline does recommend that players play with their grade if eligible to play for two age groups (ex: It is recommended that a 13U player in 8th grade plays with 14U).

how do fees work?
The $400 initial non-refundable deposit is due upon acceptance of a position either for a team or to be a part of the club. This deposit (along with the offer and acceptance agreement) secures your spot. The remaining balance is to be paid in 8 equal payments beginning in September and ending in April.
