Tryouts & Registration

Your child’s next chapter starts with a single step. Tryouts are quick, free, and pressure-free. We’re not looking for perfect players — we’re looking for kids who want to get better.

What to Expect

Register

Fill out the short registration form below. We’ll confirm your tryout slot and send you everything you need to know.

Show Up and Play

Tryouts last 90-120 minutes, and are 2-3 sessions depending on the coach and age group. Your child will go through skill assessments, small-sided games, and drills designed to show us how they move, think, and compete. We’re evaluating effort and coach-ability as much as current skill level.

Hear From Us

Within 24 hours of your final tryout, we’ll reach out with our assessment. If your child is a fit for a competitive team, we’ll extend an offer with full details on the team, schedule, and fees. If they’re not quite ready, we’ll recommend the best program for their development.

Join the Team

Accept your offer and complete registration. We’ll handle the league paperwork. You’ll receive a welcome packet with the full season schedule, uniform ordering info, and parent communication details.

What We Evaluate

We’re not running tryouts to find the most talented kids. We’re looking for players who:

  • Show effort and a desire to improve
  • Listen to coaching and apply feedback
  • Support and communicate with teammates
  • Demonstrate athletic ability appropriate for their age (not perfection)

If your child has passion and work ethic, there is a team for them here. We develop talent — we don’t just recruit it.

Register for Competitive Tryouts

Ready to get started? Fill out the form below and you’ll receive an email from our division manager, within 24 hours, to schedule your tryout.

Currently registered with another NorCal Premier club? You’ll need written permission from your current club’s Director of Coaching before attending, if it is outside the open tryout window (May 4 – Jun 28). Not sure how that works — just ask us, we’ll walk you through it.

Tryout FAQ

Yes. There is no charge for tryouts.

Absolutely. We evaluate effort, coachability, and potential — not just current skill level. Many of our best players started with no competitive experience.

We’ll give you honest feedback and recommend the best path forward, whether that’s our recreational program, a camp, or trying out again next season. There’s always a place for a willing player at Cupertino FC.

Competitive teams train 3 times per week, year round, with 1–2 games on weekends during spring and fall seasons. See our full fee breakdown on the FAQ & Fees page.

We encourage multi-sport athletes. We’ll work with you on scheduling. Just let us know your child’s other commitments upfront.

Yes, parents are welcome to watch from the sideline.
