Do clubs usually charge to try out? Just found out that I need to pay $20 for my kid to tryout at a particular club. Never heard of this before. Have I just been lucky?

Never, and with three kids we've done plenty of tryouts. Only ODP charged and that was a million years ago when my oldest did it.

The clubs that charge are local small clubs and/or town travel teams. They do it because they would have a lot of people sign up and not show up. The fee is a way for them to ensure those who register will likely show. It’s unheard of at the big clubs.

I've never seen it for club soccer and have been to many different clubs. Very common for other sports like AAU basketball and club field hockey.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThat was an ID day. Went to that too. Regular tryouts in June, at the main location in Epping, absolutely come with a $20 charge. Easily found on the website registration form. But hey, they do give you a "free" t-shirt.
