What happens after the tournament?

  • The soccer clock rolls over, advancing from the 2017-2018 year to the 2018-2019 year. Our 2010 players become age-eligible for the U9 Academy program, while our 2011 players are eligible for another year in the Junior Academy program. There are two upcoming events related to the new soccer year.

  • NTH offers a pre-tryout open house camp the week of May 21st. This isn’t mandatory, but it’s recommended for the girls born in 2010 who are aging up from Junior Academy to U9 and a new coach.
  • The camp is free for current NTH Junior Academy and Academy players. Link:  NTH Academy pre-tryout camp details

  • Tryouts for the 2018-2019 NTH Academy and Junior Academy programs start Tuesday, May 29th. Check our tryouts page for more information.

Volunteers needed for tryout sign-in:

We’re looking for 1-3 parent volunteers to staff the tryout sign-in tent each night. Roles include greeter, data master (confirming player info on pre-printed registration lists) and artist (marking tryout numbers on players’ arms). If you’re available to help any of the nights, please e-mail the appropriate coach and include which night(s) you’re available: Kimmie O’Connor (U9 tryouts) or Ward (Junior Academy tryouts).

Why do the camp and tryouts happen so soon?

  • Good question! Our governing body requires teams / Academy groups to be declared and registered by early July for fall scheduling purposes. The best chance to take care of tryouts and registration is right after the current year, before players disperse for family vacations and summer camps.
