CHALLENGE TRYOUTS 2025-26

Tryout Registration – New Players

In order to be evaluated for Challenge program, new players must:

  • Create an account in PlayMetrics
  • If you already have an existing PlayMetrics account, please login to register.
  • Complete an Intent to Play – Challenge Program registration.
  • Attend their respective tryout (by birthyear)
  • If you already have an existing PlayMetrics account, please login to register.


Parents/Guardians should create an account in their name and add each child as a participant. 


Tryout information will be emailed to registered participants closer to their tryout date. If you have any questions, please email us at Challenge@NCFCYouth.com 


Current Challenge players interested in returning to their team do not need to complete an Intent to Play and will receive a Team Invite through PlayMetrics in mid-April. (U15-U19 Challenge Boys will receive their Team Invites in October for the Spring season). 


Current Challenge players interested in trying out for a new challenge team must register for Challenge tryouts by submitting an Intent to Play – Challenge Program registration and Decline their team invite. Doing so will forfeit their spot on their current team and does not guarantee placement on a new team. 


Tryout Format 

  • 2017-2012 players: tryouts are a two-day event. Players are expected to attend both days. 
  • 2011-2006 Girls: tryouts are one night only. 


All tryouts are on an individual basis and not by teams, coach, or friend request.


U15-U19 (2011-2006) Boys will have tryouts in November/December, as they play only during the Spring. More information will be available in the fall.
