HOW TRYOUTS WORKS 

• Check-in upon arrival, present required documents (details above)
• Receive your tryout number and place it on the back of your helmet (some tryouts use jerseys instead of helmet numbers)
• Be ready to get on the ice at the designated time for your tryout
• Most tryouts will last about 45 minutes to one hour
• After the tryout is over, please stay at the rink until the tryout results have been posted
• Tryout results will be posted on a board at the rink shortly after the completion of the tryout. At that time, you will be instructed to do one of the following things:
  Meet with the coach to sign up for the team
• Return for another tryout look
  Players who have been called back for another look will be asked to return the following day for the second tryout skate
  Pre-registration and payment online is required to attend the second skate
• You are excused to attend tryouts for other teams

WHAT HAPPENS IF I AM CHOSEN FOR A TEAM?

• Immediately following the tryout, you will meet with the club representative at the area designated
• With help from a club representative you will complete the Letter of Intent
• Financial arrangements for payment of registration and dues must be completed online within 24 hours of making the team
• Once you sign a Letter of Intent you may not tryout for any other team (exceptions: SCAHA players may also be on a High School Team, girls may roster on both a girls team and boys team as long as it is not in conflict with league rules)

BIRTH CERTIFICATES AND RESIDENCY DOCUMENTS

If you are a new player to SCAHA/CAHA, or born internationally, you may be asked to provide a copy of your government issued birth certificate and/or US Visa documents to the club Registrar. 

Please make sure that you bring documents to tryouts accordingly in the event that you are selected for a team.
