Player ID Process

PLAYER SELECTION

As part of our player selection process for our Zone 2 (U13-18) programs, Delaware FC offers:

Open Player ID Nights / Tryouts (2008 age group) - Register Below!
ID Nights / Trial Sessions to all interested players in 2008 to 2002 Players - Email the appropriate coach of the team below to arrange a night to join us!

The goal of our ID process is to provide a more natural way for players to get a sense of our Delaware FC team levels through a training environment.

It also affords our staff coaches multiple opportunities to observe players, if they feel it is beneficial.

In addition, the club will be bound by the player’s acceptance of the offer to play. A player/parent who rescinds their acceptance of an offer to play after it has been communicated to the coach making the offer will not be refunded.
