CHALLENGE TRYOUTS 2025-26

Tryout Registration – New Players

In order to be evaluated for Challenge program, new players must:

• Create an account in PlayMetrics
• If you already have an existing PlayMetrics account, please login to register.
• Complete an Intent to Play – Challenge Program registration.
• Attend their respective tryout (by birthyear)
• If you already have an existing PlayMetrics account, please login to register.

Parents/Guardians should create an account in their name and add each child as a participant. 

Tryout information will be emailed to registered participants closer to their tryout date. If you have any questions, please email us at Challenge@NCFCYouth.com 

Current Challenge players interested in returning to their team do not need to complete an Intent to Play and will receive a Team Invite through PlayMetrics in mid-April. (U15-U19 Challenge Boys will receive their Team Invites in October for the Spring season). 

Current Challenge players interested in trying out for a new challenge team must register for Challenge tryouts by submitting an Intent to Play – Challenge Program registration and Decline their team invite. Doing so will forfeit their spot on their current team and does not guarantee placement on a new team. 

Tryout Format 

• 2017-2012 players: tryouts are a two-day event. Players are expected to attend both days. 
• 2011-2006 Girls: tryouts are one night only. 

All tryouts are on an individual basis and not by teams, coach, or friend request.

U15-U19 (2011-2006) Boys will have tryouts in November/December, as they play only during the Spring. More information will be available in the fall. 

Tryout Dates and Times 

All Tryouts take place at WRAL Soccer Park. Details will be posted later this spring and specific field and check-in instructions will be emailed to participants closer to their tryout date.
