*The evaluation process(Tryout) for Club Teams (July 5-28) *Club Acceptance Days - July 21 (15U - 18U) / July 28 (10U - 14U)
Players are evaluated during several Fire Evaluation Clinics and can be given a verbal offer to a team. Players are selected by position, skill, attitude and game play. Fort Worth Fire looks to get every player who wants to play for Fire on a team. We build teams based around the number of players who want to play. We carry a maximum of 11 players on a team.
UPDATE!! July 5th- Verbal Offers may be followed up by text, phone, or e-mail. per the North Texas Region rules any offers made prior to the "acceptance date" are non-binding"
Due to the new NTR tryouts, athletes will be given an ONLINE offer through the OCS system, it is imperative that athletes register online for evaluations and NOT walk up if at all possible to ensure we have accurate player information.
Players cannot sign an agreement until the official Club Acceptance Day. Players will receive an e-mail from the OCS system with an offer. Parents will follow instructions on offer e-mail.
