The following communication was sent to all UNION 10U-14/15U Tryout participants:

First and foremost, we want to thank you for participating in the 2021-2022 UNION Tryout collaboration between Norski SC and Sun Prairie SC. Staff and coaches have been working diligently to create team rosters for the upcoming season. Team offers for the 10U – 14/15U age groups will be sent starting Friday, June 25th at noon. When you receive your offer, you have 24 hours to accept, although we ask that you please respond as soon as possible to ensure a smooth process for all. Based on the 24-hour acceptance period, it can take up to two or more days to complete all offers. Please be patient!

The purpose of this communication is to explain the process that will be in play and the steps each family/player will need to follow.

PHASE 1: Team Offers

• Offers will be sent out via email in the approximate time frames on 6/25/21:

  • 12:00 - 2:00 PM  Union Premier - 1st Teams

  • 2:00 - 4:00 PM = Union Select - 2nd Teams

  • 4:00 - 6:00 PM = Union Classic - 3rd Teams

  • 6:00 - 8:00 PM = Union Academy - 4th Teams

• Offers will be sent from either Norski SC or Sun Prairie SC depending on which club will be housing the age group. Example: All 11U Boys teams would get an offer from Sun Prairie SC and all 11U Girls Teams would get an offer from Norski SC. The reasoning and agreement by both clubs for this are to ensure logistical club passing opportunities for all players in an age group and gender to help out at games over the course of the year. Price points for each club and level of commitment will also be identical. 

• The Team offer email will include: 

  • Team that they have been offered a position on for the 2021-2022 season

  • General description of the team commitment in regards to practices, tournaments, potential league placement, and the annual cost associated with the overall experience.

• ACCEPTING or DECLINING your team offer (24 Hours)

  • ACCEPTING: Reply all to the email indicating your child accepts the roster spot to play on the team they have been offered.

  • DECLINING: Reply all to the email indicating your child declines the roster spot to play on the team they have been offered.  

PHASE 2: UNION Migration & Uniform Sizing Registration for Accepting Team Players (Amended 7/3/21) 

PHASE 2A of the registration process is now active (7/4/21). The process has been amended to where ALL PLAYERS are now required to complete both phases of the registration process. The reason that all players are required to complete the PHASE 2A is we are collecting uniform jerseys and short sizes as these orders need to be submitted as soon as possible. When registering please register for the FREE “UNION Migration & Uniform Sizing” program that should take no more than 3 minutes to complete. The deadline to complete this registration is Wednesday, July 7, 2021. 

 

As a reminder, both clubs are closely working together to make sure that price points are the same while also making sure budgets are being met. All Boy's teams will be registering at Sun Prairie SC while all Girl's teams will register at Norski SC. This will help address any logistical club passing opportunities that may come up over the year.  Listed below is the registration link for the age groups and genders of where players should register for the upcoming year.

TRYOUT INFORMATION: UNION Teams, NORSKI SC or SUN PRAIRIE SC
 

IMPORTANT & MUST-READ!!! With the recent announcement of both Norski SC and Sun Prairie SC collaborating to form UNION SC 10U - 14/15U teams for the upcoming 2021 - 2022 season; many logistical plans and agreements by both clubs have/are being put in place to maximize player opportunities within an age group and gender. 

• 10U - 14/15U Players

  • All players looking to play in the 2021-2022 year must register under either the Norski SC or Sun Prairie SC registration portal....

UPDATED: 6/19/21

**15U Players that are going into 8th grade

Where: 

• See the chart above for your child's age group and gender time and locations:

  • Scottish Highlands Park (6700 Tartan Trail, Sun Prairie, WI 53590).

  • Windsor Sports Commons (4198 Mueller Road, DeForest)

What Should Players Bring: Come prepared for a regular game or practice (Soccer shoes, shin guards, and a ball). Bring plenty of water. 

What Should Players Do Upon Arrival? Upon arrival each night, please check in at registration with the staff on site. The first night you will receive your tryout t-shirt when you check-in, so you will want to arrive 20-30 minutes early. Players will all receive a tryout bib with a number on it that will be placed on their shorts and are required to have on them each night.

What If I'm On Vacation During My Tryout Date/s? If you are on vacation and cannot make tryouts, please do the following:

1. Be sure to register for tryouts/placement using the Demosphere registration system link in the upper right corner of this page. All players who want to be considered for a 2021-2022 team placement with SPSC/NSC or Union teams must register for tryouts/placement.

2. During the registration process, the system will ask you if your child will miss None, 1st Day Only, 2nd Day Only, or Both Days.  This will let us know each day a list of players who will not be at tryouts due to other family obligations/vacations, etc... This list will be given to the coaches each night.

Players who cannot physically be at tryouts will be considered for a team solely based on the written evaluation from their 2020-21 team coach and DOC. Tryout t-shirts will be made available for pick up later in June for these players that can not attend.

• Why UNION?

  • Simply put, with more numbers we can provide every player on each team the best and most consistent learning environment possible throughout each team based on where they are at in their development and commitment levels. Fostering a positive learning environment where all players can develop over time with confidence and success at their own rate. 

• Will all teams in the 10U-14/15U age groups be UNION teams?

  • Yes, all teams in these age groups will be considered UNION teams. The goal of the UNION is to group players of “like-minded and like-abilities”...
