Oregon SC doesn't hold traditional tryouts for our Competitive program.

We don't believe that it is productive to evaluate players who are currently in our Competitive program during a short window during the spring. Instead, we believe that our coaches' impressions of players from six months of practices and games help provide a more accurate, thorough evaluation in addition to the evaluation sessions.

Starting in Spring 2024, players in our Competitive and Academy programs will be assessed during the season. This will happen six times for 8U Academy and 9U/10U players (3 in the fall, 3 in the spring) and four times for the 11U through 14U/15U teams (2 in the fall, two in the spring). Additionally, players in our Recreational program will be assessed once in the fall and once in the spring.

Oregon SC does not actively recruit players, but if players currently playing for OSC Recreational teams or on teams in other clubs want to be considered for spots in our Competitive program, they can attend our evaluation sessions. 

All players wishing to be considered for spots on 2024-25 Competitive rosters must register for evaluation sessions. Registration costs $15 per player and includes an Oregon SC white practice jersey.

Registration will be done through our PlayMetrics system; a link will be added here when registration is open.

• Note: Players born in 2015 are welcome to register for and attend the 2014 evaluation sessions. Other players who would like to be considered for a 2024-25 Competitive team at an older age group will be handled on a case-by-case basis.

Players should arrive 30 minutes before their scheduled evaluation session to check in and receive their practice shirt.

Changes for 2024-25

• A photo will be taken of each player at check-in
• Players who have not previously played in the Oregon SC Competitive Program must bring a copy of their birth certificate, passport or other acceptable Proof of Birth document for verification. The club will not keep this document.
• The Director of Coaching will hold a meeting with parents at the start of the first evaluation session for each group to go over details, including coaching, possible team formation and league placements and club expectations about the registration process.

Players are encouraged to attend both evaluation sessions for their age group. If your child is not able to attend either session, please contact the Competitive commissioners and the Director of Coaching (see below) to discuss other possible options.

Evaluation sessions are closed to parents and other observers.

The coaches, evaluators and Director of Coaching will work together to form the team rosters for the 2024-25 season, using feedback from the 2023-24 season (where applicable) and the evaluation sessions. Board members do not play any role in roster selection, nor do coaches who have children in a specific age group.

The club does not release details/reports of players' evaluations.

Locations TBD

* - Only players born in 2010 who will be in 8th grade during the 2024-25 school year. (Players born in 2010 who will be in 9th grade will be part of the High School Program; see details below.)

Location TBD

We again will have three windows over an eight-month span during which time there will be evaluation sessions, offers and open registration. High School-age boys players will not be able to register outside of these windows.

Once a player is registered for evaluation sessions, they are registered for all sessions during the windows.

All players who accept offers during previous registration windows are encouraged to attend later sessions as practices.

Location TBD for Window 1 sessions

* - Window 2 and 3 sessions expected to be held at TOCA Madison, 5964 Executive Dr., Fitchburg.

Early offers

Oregon SC reserves the right to use the early offer option for players who are registered with our club for the 2023-24 season, as allowed by Wisconsin Youth Soccer Association policy.

The earliest these offers can be sent is May 17, and the earliest they can expire is noon Thursday, June 13 (for 11U-14U/15U players) or noon Thursday, June 20 (for high school-age players).

If an 11U-14U/15U player does not initially receive an early offer, they can still receive an early offer before June 14 and can receive a regular offer on or after June 14.

Note: Per WYSA policy, players who accept early offers or regular offers from a club are not allowed to attend tryouts/evaluations for other clubs.

REGULAR offers

2024-25 regular offers to players ages 11U-14U/15U (2014 through 2010 8th-graders) will be sent out at noon Friday, June 14, per Wisconsin Youth Soccer Association policy.

Regular offers for high school-age girls players and the first regular offers for high school-age boys players (2010 9th-graders through 2006) will be sent out at noon Friday, June 21. (More details on high school-age boys offers above)

11U-14U/15U players will have 24 hours to accept or decline offers. High school girls will have 72 hours to accept or decline, while high school boys will have seven days to do so. Not replying is considered declining.  If your family needs more time to make a decision, please contact the Competitive commissioners and the Director of Coaching.

According to WYSA policy, accepting an offer is a two-part process, requiring parents:

1. Accept the offer
2. Register and pay the initial registration fee

Both of these items must be completed by the times listed in the offer or the offers become null and void.

We will be using the PlayMetrics system to send out offers and have parents accept/decline offers, which means both of the above steps can be done at once. Please be sure you can receive messages from PlayMetrics.
