OSHKOSH SOccer
We conduct tryouts based on age groups, which may be combined with another group during the tryout.
WCSC tries its best to place the majority of tryout participants on a WCSC team. If a participant does not have a roster spot, we will try our best to work with the family and find a spot on another club team for that player.
All players moving into U11 and up need to be at tryouts to secure a spot on the roster.
- A $30 tryout fee ($25 BEFORE May 24th) is non-refundable if a team cannot be formed or a player is not offered a spot on a team.
- Each player will receive a WCSC Pinnie to wear over their clothing for tryouts. Please dress accordingly.
- If you have any tryout-related questions, please email us at wcsc@watercitiessoccer.org
The Soccer year runs from August 1st to July 31st. There are practices two days a week in the fall and spring and, usually, one game per week. We also hold winter training indoors.
The Wisconsin Youth Soccer Association (WYSA) determines when we can hold tryouts and when we can offer roster spots to players. This year's offer date for Classic players (11U-14U girls and boys) is on June 12th, 2026 at noon.
Registration
- Registration for tryouts is done online through Playmetrics. Registration is now open.
- We prefer players to register for tryouts online. If unable to do so, please bring a check for $30 to the tryout, made payable to Water Cities Soccer
- Submit a COMPLETED and SIGNED WYSA Membership/Medical & Liability Form. This form is part of the online registration process; we need the signed copy only for the registration day.
- If we do not get enough tryout registrations for a specific age group, we reserve the right to cancel the tryout, and if canceled, we will refund the tryout registration fee.
- If you missed or can not make tryouts we will do our best to accommodate you. A regular tryout fee and all of the paperwork is still required for these players. We do not charge extra for this service.
Tryout Day Information
- Please arrive at the tryout location 20-30 mins before the tryout starts to get checked in.
- Please have a parent or guardian with you for tryout check-in.
- All new players to Water Cities should bring a copy of their Birth Certificate to verify their age. We need to view it only.
- What to bring/wear: Please bring a ball, water bottle, and dress to play (Cleats, Shin Guards); you will wear a tryout pinnie over your shirt.
