IMPORTANT FOR CURRENT PLAYERS: All current Croatian Eagles players must register for the ID/Tryout. These Events will serve as training dates for our current teams.

If your player's name won't be on a list by the ID Day, we strongly recommend discussing it with your coach.

16u-19u EA/DPL/USYS Tryouts- Dates and Times- (Birth years 2010-2007)

Players are encouraged, but not REQUIRED to attend all sessions.  The more a player is seen the better of an evaluation that can occur and more accurate of a team placement.

The number of teams created is dictated by the number of players per age group that tryout and accept their team assignment offer.  The Croatian Eagles will do everything they can to create as many teams as needed in order to serve those who want to play.

Registration is for boys or girls born between 2014-2007 interested in joining the Croatian Eagles Soccer Club.

     1.  Online Registration is required using PlayMetrics. For more information on PlayMetrics click here. 

     2.  Tryout is FREE

     3.  Register for tryouts 

     4.  Players must arrive 30 minutes prior to their tryout time.

Check in occurs at the Croatian Eagles clubhouse (far west end of park).

Players will receive a tryout bag.

Bring cleats, athletic wear, soccer ball, shin guards and water.

Parents can stay or leave, however, parents are not allowed to record or take pictures of any of the sessions for the safety and privacy of the players involved.

If parents chose to stay the are encouraged to stay away from their child's field to allow for maximum focus and concentration for your child(ren).

     5.  Let admin staff know if your child cannot make the tryout 

  dates.  Alternative arrangements can be made.

Players at 11u and above will be receiving offers to play on a team at their age level based on skill, attitude, physical ability, and coachability amongst other attributes.  

Team assignments will be communicated in two ways:

1. A club email will be sent to each player with directions on how to 

      accept the position.

          *  Accept the offer within 24 hours using the link in the 

              offered email.

          *  Failure to respond (accept) within 24 hours may result in a 

              player’s position on the team being offered to another.

          *  Communicate to the coach of the team with any questions.

2.  Many offers will also be followed up with a call from the coach.  

      If you do not receive a call right away, please understand that 

      coaches have many players to contact.

Important note:  

WYSA Policy states:

Response from Players: Acceptance must be in writing (email or written letter is sufficient). If registration with your club constitutes acceptance of an offer (IT DOES for us), there must be a written statement communicating that in the offer or on the registration form. Players may respond immediately to offers, but are not required to respond immediately. The club representative contacting the player should remind them that an immediate response is not necessary and how much time a player has to respond (up to 24 hours, unless it is an early offer which cannot expire before 12:00 noon on the Universal Offer date for the respective age group).

Any offer extended to a player is valid for at least 24 hours during which time the player is guaranteed a spot on the team specified. A club or team may extend the length of time an offer is valid at their discretion.

A player is considered committed to a team when a written acceptance occurs AND a parent/guardian completes the player registration and submits to a club representative. The tryout registration is not considered the player registration. Any refund policies are at the sole discretion of the club.

Any player who commits to a team and then wants to change to another team in the same registration year will be considered a transfer and such transfer is subject to Wisconsin Youth Soccer Association competitive player transfer policies.

1.  No need to register for an open house.

2.  Attend age level assigned time.

3.  Bring cleats, water, a ball, and a smile on your face!

Open houses will be a place where your son or daughter can come and play soccer for free.  They will be led by Croatian Eagles Soccer Club Coaches and directors.  Players will be exposed heavily to technical, physical and psychosocial components of the game during these sessions.

Final team assignments won't occur until the first couple of weeks into the season. CESC believes there is a fit for all players and we do our best to ensure that all players are maximizing their talents, being challenged appropriately, while having fun which is done via proper team placement.

Academy Open House Dates and Times schedule- 2025  

Come to Croatian Park for a fun meet and greet.  Coaches will be available to you to ask any questions of or just to say hello.  Players will come and run through a typical session.  Players will learn about some of the technical parts of the game, like dribbling, trapping, 1st touch, passing and shooting.  Players will also be able to showcase their abilities in a game setting as well.
