Before you try out

Can players from outside Seattle join?
CitySide is based in Seattle and welcomes families from across the Pacific Northwest, Canada and beyond. That includes the Seattle–Tacoma area, Bellevue and the Eastside, Everett, Spokane and Eastern Washington, the Tri-Cities, Portland–Vancouver, and Metro Vancouver, British Columbia.
How are teams selected?
Coaches evaluate players by high-school graduation year. Tryouts are open to all players; roster spots are competitive. How to choose your player’s graduation year.
How does early boys selection work?
Early boys roster offers follow Tryout 1. Rostered players secure their place early and must attend their team’s scheduled Tryout 2 session as an official team practice. One registration covers both dates; no second registration or payment is required. See the boys team page for current dates and fees, and contact your director in advance if you have an attendance conflict.
What is the season commitment?
Practice fields, schedules, tournament travel and costs vary by team. Confirm the full commitment with your director before accepting a spot. Use the family travel-season checklist.
What if I miss a tryout?
Ask your director about the next evaluation. An inquiry does not guarantee a roster spot.
Is recruiting support available?
High-school players on both our boys’ and girls’ teams receive recruiting guidance, a recruiting timeline and a SportsRecruits account. Meet your recruiting team. Explore college commitments.
