Welcome to the Welland Soccer Club (WSC) Tryout Schedule page! Here, you’ll find all the information you need to join our competitive youth teams. WSC is dedicated to discovering and nurturing young talent, and our tryouts are the first step in this exciting journey. Whether you’re aiming to take your skills to the next level or aspire to become part of a team that values growth, sportsmanship, and competition, you’re in the right place.
Tryout Overview
WSC holds annual tryouts for our youth competitive teams, catering to various age groups from U8 to U18. These sessions are designed to assess players’ skills, attitude, and potential to contribute to the team’s success. Our licensed coaches and technical staff conduct the tryouts, ensuring a fair and comprehensive evaluation process.
Schedule and Registration
Registration will open soon – all participants must register online before attending tryouts. Please check back regularly for updates and the official registration link. A non‑refundable tryout fee will apply, covering facility rental and equipment costs.
What to Bring
Participants are expected to arrive prepared with the following:
- Soccer cleats (regular soccer cleats for indoor and outdoor fields)
- Shin guards
- Appropriate soccer attire
- Water bottle
- A positive and ready-to-learn attitude!
Selection Process
Selection for WSC competitive teams is based on skill, athleticism, teamwork, and long-term development potential. Following tryouts, players selected for a team will be contacted via email with details on how to proceed. Players not selected for the top-tier team may still be invited to additional tryouts for a second or third team within their age group. Those not placed on a competitive team (Target or Development) are encouraged to continue their soccer journey through our House League and development programs—such as the Wizards Academy—and consider attending tryouts again in the future.
