Important Notes

The top teams in each age group play and train at a higher level and therefore requires a high level of commitment. This includes including additional training and tournament expenses. Consider this when accepting a roster spot on these teams. While we encourage players to accept roster spots on these teams if offered, accepting a spot on these teams is not a requirement but an individual choice.

Additional Guidelines

You must attend a Commack Soccer pool tryout to be considered for placement on a Commack Soccer Travel Team.

Commack Soccer Pool tryouts are conducted by professional trainers that work for the Club or an approved training organization.

Tryouts are generally held over 2 days for each age group.

All players are checked in prior to the first day of the tryouts for their age group and assigned a random tryout number and given a pinnie. Players are responsible to remember their number.

At the end of the 2nd day of tryouts, each player is “checked out” to make sure all numbers are accounted for and any “duplicate numbers” that may have occurred be clarified BEFORE leaving the field.

Tryout results are posted on the Commack Soccer website within 48 hours after the conclusion of the tryout for each age group.

After the results are posted, players have 48 hours to accept/decline the position on the team.  To accept a position, parents must complete the registration and payment process. If registration and payment is not received after 48 hours, the next highest rated player will be offered a spot on the roster and unregistered players will lose their roster spot.

THERE WILL BE NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS POLICY AND THERE WILL BE NO REFUNDS ISSUED AFTER REGISTRATION

By accepting a position on a Commack Soccer travel team, you are making a commitment to that team for the full season ahead and are agreeing to our club policies.

Each player will be carded with Commack Soccer and will not be permitted to be carded or play with another soccer club, organization or league.

The Commack Soccer Travel coordinators assigned to each age group will be responsible for overseeing the above procedure and contacting any alternate players if necessary.

Please do not call and ask for personal feedback on your child’s performance at the tryout.

Once teams are formed at the conclusion of the tryout, parent administrators are assigned. Anyone interested in becoming a parent administrator should submit our application prior to tryouts.

IF WE DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH PARENT ADMINISTRATORS, TEAMS WILL NOT BE FORMED UNLESS THE TRAINER ASSIGNED WISHES TO TAKE ON THAT RESPONSIBILITY AT AN ADDITIONAL EXPENSE ADDED TO THE FEES CHARGED TO THE TEAM DIVIDED EQUALLY AMONG ALL TEAM MEMBERS.

Final team names, rosters, and coaches information will be submitted to the Commack Soccer Registrar within 7 days after the conclusion of the pool tryouts for the age group.

Note, new team names must not duplicate an existing Commack Soccer Travel teams name.

Informational Meetings

Commack Soccer will be hosting two informational meetings in April that are highly recommended for all parents of players born between 2013-2016 participating in the pool tryouts.

We will review how the pool tryouts work, the commitment for each age group, the costs and more plus we will answer questions.

Meetings will be held at Burr Intermediate School in the auditorium.

Dates TBD!
