Tryout Options with Club Ohio

At Club Ohio, we offer two types of tryouts for prospective players:

• In-Practice Evaluations for players not currently on a Club Ohio team. If you choose in practice, you do not need to come to open tryouts.
• Open Tryouts. Each offers a different experience and path to joining our teams. Registration Opens 4/1.

In-Practice Evaluation (for players not on a Club Ohio team) – $25 Registration Fee
