Supplemental Try-outs
Supplemental try-outs are held for various reasons. The SCS DOC may grant a player a supplemental try-out if the player has a documented injury, illness, or any other significant obligation that prevents the player from participating in the scheduled try-out process. The SCS may also schedule a supplemental try-out if one or more players drop from a roster after team registration, and there is a need for more players in that particular age group. Since we are unable to predict injuries or other factors that stop a

player from continuing on with a SCS team, a supplemental try-out can happen at any time. The only time they are not allowed is after the roster-freeze dates implemented by WSYSA.
In the event a player is unavailable to make the scheduled try-out dates (i.e. injury, sickness, other circumstances) the player should notify the DOC via try-out registration form and provide documentation of the reason for absence (Doctor’s excuse, ER documentation, copy of airline tickets, etc) A supplemental try-out may be held at a later date as arranged by the DOC and the Head Coach. Whenever possible, the player will be placed appropriately after a Head Coach and/or DOC has evaluated that player. If capable of playing on the first team, the player will be put on that particular team. In the event the player is absent from try-outs but supplies the necessary paperwork and documentation in a timely manner, a roster spot may be held, but is done so at the discretion of the DOC.
Please note supplemental try-outs are only possible if the team has an available roster position and if a try-out is missed. There is no guarantee the SCS will be able to accommodate a supplemental try-out player. It is always in the player’s best interest to attend all sessions of the appointed try-out dates.
