We wanted to assist you in making the right choices for your children when attending the tryout for tonight.  We also want to let you know the coaching staff will be very aware of the conditions and make sure the kids get plenty of breaks and we minimize the physical exertion for each player.  We anticipate we will have very hot weather moving forward and rescheduling activities will only postpone the weather problems we are experiencing now.

The coaches will be instructed to keep activities short in duration and use any shaded areas as much as possible.  The kids will also be given constant water breaks to rest and recover.

Things you should consider having your child bring to any activity when it is extremely hot:

1.  Plenty of cold water
2.  Cooler with ice and wash cloths to put on back of neck and face
3.  Spray bottle filled with cold water to mist themselves
4.  Make sure to wear cotton shirts 
5.  Communicate any medical concerns before the tryouts to coaches and evaluators

Please read below to get instructions on how to register for tryouts.

Here are some guidelines when registering for the NVSC Travel Tryouts:

• If your family has never registered anyone with NVSC in a recreational program then you are probably not in our NVSC online registration database.  Please register as "No player in my family has ever played in NVSC" on the registration screen.  If you have someone in our recreational database then you can select "At least one player in my family has registered before".
• You can put their school in but it will not be needed, just place any school into that field, we will be ignoring that field for the tryouts.
• The next field is District, please just put either District in, we use the Districts for the recreational program but it is part of our registration process and has to be filled out.  Again for the travel tryouts we will be ignoring this field put it has to be either Hellwig or Ben Lomond.
• Click on the box for Travel Tryouts and if your player is trying out for a older team (for example your player is U10 in the Fall but is trying out for the U11 age group) please put the requested age group in the Special Request field (do not put the name of the team just the age group).  If your player played for NVSC last season and also played up then he/she is now set at that older age group in our system...IF you want your player to tryout for his/her true age please put that into the Special Request field.  These are the only valid entries in the Special Request field...all other entries will be ignored. 
• Continue through Step 2 and 3 making sure that information is correct.  Then click on Proceed to Checkout (yes the tryouts are free but you must go through the Checkout process).  On the next screen scroll to the bottom and hit the I agree button to complete the registration.  You will receive a email confirming the registration.
• The email confirmation will ask for Proof of Age, this is not necessary at this time and if it is necessary later it will be requested by the travel team...please do not send anything now.
• For the U9 age group your player must have been born before 08/01/04 to tryout.  We allow players to play up one year but when it gets to playing up two years we discourage that.
