What do I need to know?

Tryouts are open to club members, returning players and new players, but we will NOT BE HOLDING PRACTICES DURING TRYOUTS!

Please only attend tryouts if you are a competitive player intending to try out for one of our competitive teams. ***If you have never played before or are a beginner, you will be directed to join Open Practices instead (reference our calendar here for a schedule).

These tryouts will be a mix of small sided and full field play. Tryouts are free and we recommend that players try to attend as many tryouts as possible. Please reference the level of play section below and fill out the required form here before attending (this form only needs to be filled out once, it does not need to be filled out before every tryout).

Important Reminders:

To be considered for a roster spot, you must attend at least 1 tryout. We recommend attending 2 tryouts and encourage players to indicate interest in multiple teams if they are unsure of the best fit for them. This gives captains a better opportunity to watch and evaluate your play and consider players across all our available playing opportunities. 

If you are a returning player who can not attend tryouts, it is at the discretion of the captains if you can still be considered for a spot on the team. We know extenuating circumstances come up, we ask that you are proactive in communicating those to captains BEFORE tryouts begin (be sure to indicate on your tryout form), so that we can make an effort to evaluate your play at a different opportunity. Please reach out to contact@wehosc.org and we will help direct you to the captains.

There are no exceptions for new players. If you are new to the club you must attend at least 1 tryout to be placed on a roster.

***All players joining a roster will be required to pay yearly club dues for 2025 ($75 if paid by Jan 31st or $90 anytime after) as well as pay additional league fees (~$75-80). Failure to pay these fees will result in immediate removal from the roster/club.

The club is committed to offering scholarships for players seeking support. Click here to learn more and to apply.
