2026 - 2027 Club Season Tryout Evaluations
2026-2027 TAV Tryout Process
Evaluation period – Begins May 4th
Non Binding Offers- The region is recommending non-binding verbal offers or written offers without a signature should not be made to any athlete until May 18th
Acceptance day July 7th (OCS)
When are Tryouts/Evaluations?
Evaluations will begin Monday May 4th. If you want to be considered for a TAV team, your attendance at the Pre-Tryout Evaluation May 4th is highly recommended.
Tryout date? There is no set tryout date!
The region has recognized May 4th as the date that clubs can begin to officially evaluate athletes from any club for a position on one of their teams. Non-binding verbal offers can be made to any athlete on Monday May 18th. It is our expectation that we will have a good idea of where an athlete stands before the verbal offer date of May 18th. Therefore, your attendance at the May 4-6 Pre-Tryout Clinics is recommended.
What can you expect?
Starting the week of May 4th we will begin to evaluate athletes for the ’25-“26 club season. Verbal offers will be made May 18th. I would plan to attend every session of the Pre Tryout Clincs for your age group. If you are unable to attend one of the sessions due to team practice but still want to be considered communication to TAV staff is very important. We will have sessions throughout May and June to fill all roster spots.
How to make a TAV Team
Attend May 4th and 5th evaluation sessions to give you the best opportunity
Register online for evaluation clinics and make sure all information is entered correctly.
Be present at the 1st assigned evaluation for your age group If you are not going to be there for one of the sessions but still want to be considered communication to TAV staff is very important.
You received a verbal offer for a spot at TAV on May 18th or later
Make sure the coach that has verbally offered you a spot knows if you accept or decline the offer. Be very clear of your intentions to ensure that spot is reserved for you.
If a verbal offer was accepted, TAV will not retract that offer. We will honor our commitment to you and ask that you do the same. Make sure you have coaches contact information and they have yours.
What happens after you accept a verbal offer?
Congratulations! Your coach and the club will be in touch to communicate opportunities to get in the gym up until the official offer and acceptance date of July 7th. Our goal is to continue to offer opportunities for you to work on growing your game.
