Tryout Information for Fall U15-19 Boys
2007-2011 Boys
November 12th
6-7:30pm
Location: Smith Sports Complex
Registration Deadline: 11/10/25
Durango Rapids Soccer Club will be conducting tryouts for the U15-19 boys age groups (2007-2011) birth years . This will help us meet the needs of our members by providing a more competitive based environment, while still providing the continued development of all players. Tryouts do assist with the proper placement of players.
The club will be conducting tryouts with mixed age groups, training together, with the possibility of structuring mixed aged, ability-based teams. The goal is to determine if a clear split of ability justifies players’ age groups being combined.
It should be noted, all teams must play in the age division of their oldest player. For example, a team made of 2011 & 2010 (U15 & U16) players is categorized as a U16 team and will play in U16 divisions in both league and tournaments.
*Team structure is at the discretion of the Directors of Coaching. This is highly dependent on player pool numbers and ability level in the group.*
Tryout fee: $5 (please bring to Tryout. Checks payable to DRSC). Players who are not registered for tryouts cannot participate in the identification days.
Players MUST bring both their White and Maroon game jerseys to the tryouts for training identification purposes. Players who are new to DRSC will be given a training bib in lieu of the jersey.

The night will include a technical warm-up, small sided, and 9v9 or 11v11 full sided game play.

If a player cannot attend the tryout we will use their regular coach's evaluation for placement.

*Club Registration is open for the U15-19 Boys
*If you want to play soccer, but are not interested in an ability based team you do not have to attend the tryouts. Instead, all you have to do is register your player and they will be placed on an age/skill appropriate team.
