Missed a Soccer Tryout in California?
Use past announcements to identify clubs worth researching, then check their official websites and social accounts for new opportunities. You can also ask the appropriate coaching or recruitment staff whether the team is currently evaluating players.
Introduce yourself with your age, position, current playing level, and highlight video. A direct message or email does not guarantee an invitation, but it gives the club information to assess whether you may be a fit.
