Q: What age groups can try out?

A: We offer teams for boys and girls from U8 to U19, organized by birth year. In some cases, players may be invited to “play up” based on skill level, maturity, and overall developmental readiness.

Our approach prioritizes placing players in an environment where they can grow, be challenged, and succeed over time—not just based on age, but on their individual path.

Q: What is the tryout process like?

A: Players will go through a series of technical drills and small-sided games designed to assess their skills, decision-making, and overall understanding of the game. Our coaching staff observes closely to evaluate each player in a supportive, competitive environment.

Roster offers are typically sent shortly after tryouts. Once accepted, families will receive next steps including registration, uniform ordering, and onboarding information.

Q: How competitive are your teams?

Our older teams compete in the Tennessee State League, typically at the Division 2 and Division 3 levels. We've been proud to see these teams consistently perform at a high level—winning tournaments, qualifying for State Cup, and even capturing State Championships.

At the Academy level, while our teams are also competitive, our main priority is player development over results. The focus is on building soccer IQ, technical skills, and long-term growth.
