If I was in a team with the club last season, do I need to come to tryouts?
For returning local league players (ie. Bristol & District), we would like you to attend tryouts. It will give us a chance to see how much you’ve improved next to the other returning and new players, and places in squads will be prioritised for people who attend.
For returning regional/national league (SWVA/NVL) players, we’re considering you known commodities, and you do not need to join the first round tryouts. We would like you to join the second round tryouts however, especially if you are a regional player looking to move up to national.
How are the tryouts structured?
There are 3 tryout rounds. In the first, the coaches will sift players by skill into local or regional/national league level. The next will sift players into individual teams within those brackets, and the last will be a practice session with the other players allocated to the same team.
Is the any fee for joining the tryouts?
Nope, all round of the tryouts this season are covered by the club.

Do I need to attend all the tryouts?
No, you do not. For the first round we are only allowing people to attend one of the sessions.
For the later rounds, if you cannot attend them it isn’t a dealbreaker, but the more you can attend the better chance you’ll be placed at the right level.
