This year, US Youth Soccer is moving from Birth Year to Age/School Year to group teams. All players born between 07/31/2016 - 07/31/2008 are welcome to tryout for an Fond du Lac Phoenix U11-U19 Select teams.   The dates of the "school year" are 08/01 to 07/31. We understand is a shift. Players should register for their appropriate age group (which will auto populate based on their birth date) but player placements on teams will be based NOT solely on age but also on skill. This means that some players may be asked to "play up" to the next age bracket as a team offer option.

Please read all information for the 2026/2027 Age Group requirements to find your appropriate time to tryout. 

Each age group will have at least two tryout sessions they can attend. They do not need to attend both, but attending more than provides coaches a better chance to evaluate players. If you are not able to attend tryouts during this time frame (due to injury or being out of town) still register and note that in your registration.
