Some teams still do hold open tryouts but it is no longer mandatory so not as many teams do as they used to. It is best to keep up to date with their websites, where announcements regarding tryouts will be posted. Tryouts are usually held at the beginning of the training season so make sure you are prepared and do not miss the announcement when it is made.
Here is a website that lists teams, their tryout date, where it will be held, who to contact and how to contact them, usually via phone, email or their website and it usually contains some additional information for you: ifsbfreeagents.com/tryouts.php Most tryouts also have a cost which can range from anywhere between $30 and $100.
Locals are especially encouraged to try out for their local team to keep a community feeling around the team. Occasionally a professional sports team will hold open tryouts that will allow anyone who wants to come out. However, these are usually publicity stunts to draw attention. Very few athletes get to the pros via this route. Some teams offer training competitions or training camps that are run by the teams’ coaches and if you have a genuine talent, it is likely it will be picked up in one of these training sessions which could potentially lead to a trial.
Training camps can be expensive but can be a good way to meet the right people and learn more about trials and open tryouts. Alternatively, you could contact the team directly by calling them to find out exactly what their policy is regarding open tryout. This could lead to a contact being made and you could even ask for advice on what they will be looking for at tryouts. There could be up to 500 people trying out for one place on the team so you have to show real talent and determination to succeed.
