Try Outs FAQ's
π GIC All-Star Weekend Tryout FAQs
When does tryout registration open?
Try Out registration is OPEN!
What should I wear to tryouts?
Athletes should wear shorts and a t-shirt. Linemen are required to bring helmets. Please wear appropriate athletic shoes for your position.
When does registration close?
Online registration remains open until all spots are filled and will closeΒ 24 hours before the region specific tryouts begin.
How much does it cost to register?
The registration fee isΒ $35.00 when completed online.
If space allows, on-site registration will be available for $50.00 after online registration closes. It is however, recommended that athletes sign up online, and not try to sign up in-person on the day of try outs, as try-out registration does sell-out, and often times early on in the online registration process.
Can I try out for a region outside my own?
Yes! Athletes may try out forΒ any region. However, we recommend trying out for the region closest to you to make travel and scheduling easier.
