Open Tryouts – What to Expect

Open tryouts are intended for prospective players and current players who want to play next year.  Players will be met at Open Practice by a Team Manager who will introduce the player to the coach and answer any parent questions.  Parents may watch the practice, but they are not allowed on the field.  Siblings are also not permitted on the field or in any other areas wherein the practice is taking place.  Parents may be asked to leave if siblings become a distraction to the coach or players.

Evaluation Period

Open Tryouts on May 13 ONLY for (Academy ages 2018 to 2015 ) are held at the HPISD Indoor Facility at 4200 Grassmere, but thereafter, players will attend at their regular  location and TEAM PRACTICES times.
Open Tryouts on May 15, 16, 20 for (Select ages 2014 to 2007) are held at the HPISD Indoor Facility at 4200 Grassmere, players will attend at their regular location and TEAM PRACTICES times.

We know all players have first practice jitters, which is why we believe in giving players three or four practices to demonstrate their skills and show how they respond to and apply constructive criticism from the coach. In our selection process, we look at a player’s willingness to participate in teamwork, level of effort, attitude and attendance record.  These practices also offer players an opportunity to evaluate HPSA and determine whether it is the right fit for him/her.

After the evaluation period is complete, the coach will contact the Academy player’s parents or speak directly to the Select player.  Coaches explain their assessment of the player’s skill level compared to that of the team.  The conversation will help set expectations for skill development required and playing time.  The conversation is also an opportunity for players and parents to ask the coach questions and determine whether becoming a member of HPSA is the right choice for their family.
