As we look ahead to the upcoming 2025 season, we’re excited to announce a change in our evaluation schedule. This year, we are transitioning to holding evaluations in the fall rather than in late winter/early spring.
Tryout Dates and Location:
Please note that there will be a non-refundable evaluation fee of $50.00. This fee helps us cover the costs associated with organizing the tryouts and preparing for the season.
The evaluations will be conducted by members of the Chaska High School coaching staff, ensuring a thorough and professional assessment of each player. Additionally, players from the high school team will be on hand to assist with the stations, providing guidance and support.
We believe this change will allow us to better plan for the upcoming season, form teams and give our athletes more time to develop their skills.
In the event that the weather isn’t ideal, we will transition back to holding evaluations in late winter. We will keep you informed of any changes as we get closer to the dates.
Equipment Requirements:
Registration will close on Sunday, October 20th at 11:59 pm.
