2026 / 2027 TRYOUTS
New players must register for AC Marin in anticipation of the tryouts. Current/returning players who are in good standing are automatically registered with AC Marin for the '26-27' season. There is no need to register for tryouts.
Tryouts are conducted annually to reassemble all AC Marin squads. Players who are new to the club have an equal opportunity to secure a roster place, and returning players must participate in the tryout to maintain their position or advance in the team hierarchy.
We suggest attending as many sessions as feasible. Please notify the coach of the age group if you anticipate missing one or more sessions.
All spectators and participants in our club's tryouts are subject to our code of conduct. During the tryout sessions, parents are not permitted to be present on the fields.
