  • WHAT ARE TRYOUTS?

    NorCo Rush’s player pathway goal is for players to have fun while developing their skills and knowledge.  That means placing players in the best developmental environment and providing the appropriate level of competition.  NorCo Rush players for U12 and older players who are currently in the club will be notified prior to tryouts where they will potentially be placed. The U11 age group will attend a placement session and be given a neutral-analysis from the NorCo Rush staff to correctly place them on their player pathway. 

  • IF I MISSED TRYOUTS, CAN MY ATHLETE STILL JOIN?

    Any player who is interested in joining the Competitive division can do so at anytime.  No need to wait until tryouts.  Players are invited to train with a team in their respective age group to determine the best developmental placement for them.
