Tryouts FAQs
Need help with Playmetrics?
You will be prompted to create an account with our club. This is free.
If you have used PlayMetrics before, you could choose to sign in with the email address linked to your account for convenience, as PlayMetrics allows you to navigate between different organizations on their system.
Don't understand which program or community to sign up for?
CU North: U8-U19, serving but not limited to Lebanon, Sycamore, Mason, Lakota, Monroe & Loveland. Provides developmental and competitive pathways for boys and girls.

Once you have entered PlayMetrics you will be able to scroll through and choose which of the communities above is best for you, and then register for tryouts.
Can you give me more information on the options for U8 players and younger?
We will be holding tryout sessions for 2018 and 2019 players, and you will see the details listed in the main options on this page. You can also visit our main Juniors page HERE to learn more about this age group.
Do I need to register for more than one night?
No. Most options will include at least one tryout date. We would love it if you came to both, but it's not compulsory. You just need to sign up once and then you can turn up for either/all sessions on the night.
Once I have registered for tryouts, what happens next?
We want all players from outside the club to attend at least one (and ideally all) of the tryout nights listed.
Note that for all existing players we make decisions on internal placement based upon our observations of them throughout the season. Attendance at tryouts for these players will be communicated through the usual channels and will follow the process that will be outlined in your spring age group meeting. All players do still have to register on the PlayMetrics system for tryouts though, regardless of attendance.
When will we know which coach will work with which team?
We will announce coaching assignments in due course.
