If you are unable to make a tryout session, please contact us and we will work with you to set up a drop-in time before the officially scheduled tryout sessions.


Exceptions to team placement based on age may be considered for players with summer birthdays who were held back a grade, in accordance with OCL guidelines. 


Note that this is a year-long commitment. Not sure what to expect? Check out our typical month-by-month breakdown here.

HOW to prepare

Please be sure to bring a soccer ball, something to drink, and wear shin guards. We ask you arrive 20 minutes early for check-in.


Players will be nervous - we get that! But we encourage them to come do their best and know they'll be evaluated on a variety of factors including technical skills, tactical skills, team play, adaptability, effort, and attitude.

*COACHING NEED

We are a parent-based coaching organization and rely on people like you to help! If you're interested in coaching, whether as a head coach or assistant, please indicate that on the registration form or you can reach out directly to Coach Taylor Ames @ 614-593-9051.


We can talk details but some benefits of coaching include ability to set schedules, and the overall support of the Raptors organization (we'll set you up with a mentor Coach).


We're sure you have more questions, so check out our FAQ or ask us directly!

All of our coaches have experience playing and coaching but are purely volunteers, which helps keep our player costs down.


Absolutely!  If you're interested in joining our staff, let's talk.  Even if you don't see the age group you're looking for on our Teams page, don't let that stop you.  We'll provide you with the teamwork and support to get started!


Though most of our players call UA home, it is by no means a requirement.
