Tryouts

Germantown Legends teams will be selected through a three-day tryout process that allows trainers to evaluate players in the areas of foot skills, athletic ability, fitness, and tactical understanding.  Teams will be selected through a group effort of the entire training staff and coaches.  All players who are interested in playing for the Legends must attend at least one, but preferably three tryout dates.  We are also willing to offer supplemental tryouts at any age group.

• Tryouts are free of charge and no commitment is required until you have been offered and accepted a position on a team.
• All players are REQUIRED to PRE-REGISTER ONLINE in advance of tryouts.  By pre-registering, you are not registered to a team nor are you under any obligation.  The online registration software is how we will communicate additional tryout information, team placement, and acceptance of a position on a team.  (You only need to register once.)
• For help with creating an online account, CLICK HERE.

Players should arrive 20 minutes prior to times posted on their initial day of try-outs to allow for check-in. Each player should bring water, soccer ball and wear shin guards to all tryout sessions.

Make every effort to attend the first or second tryout date. Players that attend Day 1 of tryouts need only pick up their 'try-out number' from the check-in table on Day 2 and or Day 3 (if scheduled).

Team placement decisions will be released within 7 days of the third tryout date. Players will be placed on teams by age and ability level. If your grade age and birthdate age do not match up, please note in registration.

All tryouts will take place at the Germantown Soccerplex (unless otherwise noted).

US YOUTH SOCCER MID SOUTH CONFERENCE
The US Youth Soccer Mid South Conference is one of 13 Conferences under the US Youth Soccer Leagues Program in the Multi-State Tier.  The Mid South Conference consists of teams primarily from Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana and Tennessee.  The top teams in the Conference will earn advancement to the US Youth Soccer Regional Championships, part of the US Youth Soccer National Championship Series, as well as a chance to earn a coveted spot in the National Tier of the Leagues Program, the US Youth Soccer National League.

US YOUTH SOCCER NATIONAL LEAGUE
The US Youth Soccer National League represents the national tier of the Leagues Program.  It features the nation's top 14U through 19U boys and girls teams, offering additional exposure to collegiate, professional and U.S. National Team coaches. All teams earn their place in the National League through success in US Youth Soccer's regional and national competitions, and the top finishers in the National League qualify for the annual US Youth Soccer National Championships.

The US Youth Soccer Leagues program features the National League and a network of 13 conferences (formerly known as US Youth Soccer Regional Leagues) across the country. The competitions provide teams with the highest possible level of competition at the national and multi-state levels.

The national tier is known as the US Youth Soccer National League. Established in the 2007-08 season, the National League provides annual competition for the best US Youth Soccer teams in the country to play each other in meaningful games with increased exposure to college coaches and scouts. Every season features teams that each earn a place in the league and compete for division titles, as well as berths to the annual US Youth Soccer National Championships.

The re-imagined Leagues Program commenced in the Fall of 2018 and features a network of US Youth Soccer Conferences (formerly known as regional leagues) that are geographically focused, under one leadership and management structure, and linked into the highly successful National League and National Championship Series.

US Youth Soccer National Championship Series

The US Youth Soccer National Championships cap a yearlong series of competitions for boys and girls teams in multiple age brackets as teams earn their way from the top teams in their state to the regional championship tournaments. US Youth Soccer State Champions and selected wildcard teams through US Youth Soccer Regional Leagues in most age groups are eligible to compete in one of four US Youth Soccer Regional Championships. The champions in the 13U through 19U age brackets from each regional event will converge in July for the US Youth Soccer National Championships.
