A Note About Tryouts
Tryouts are MANDATORY
There are NO makeup Tryout sessions. Players must try out on the published date for their age group.
Per EFP Bylaws:
Players that do not tryout with their established age group on their designated tryout date cannot be considered a lock.
Players that do not complete tryouts due to an injury cannot be selected to the 1st team unless otherwise approved by a majority vote of the board.
Players that elect not to go through the tryout process will only be allowed to participate on a Tier 3/C team unless otherwise approved by a majority vote by the board.
