Required Equipment: Wear a grey shirt, soccer cleats, shin guards, and bring a labeled soccer ball and water bottle.

Parents are requested to observe tryouts from the designated area. Coaching or shouting at players during their tryout session is not permitted.


To ensure fair and age-appropriate development, all players must try out within their designated new age group. Following evaluation, the decision to allow a player in an older age group will be made jointly by the Fairhope Academy Coaching Staff and Director, based on individual skills, abilities, and potential.
