Try-Out Information

Each year Sereno players are selected through a clinic (developmental) or try-out (competitive) process conducted by our professional staff.  Players are then placed in the best environment for their individual development.  Our youngest Sereno team is U-7, which for the 2012-13 season are those born between August 1, 2005 and July 31, 2006.   Typically, there are multiple competitive teams formed per age group.   Players are encouraged to attend as many of the tryouts as possible in order to receive multiple evaluations during the tryout period.

Sereno Soccer Club welcomes all players to participate in our annual clinic/tryout sessions.  Field Locations may be subject to change.
