Challenger Player Evaluation Times and Locations:

Registration night for Challenger rostered players on June 23

Please check back about 1 to 2 weeks prior to player evaluations as times and locations may change.

Please review the Bow United parental and Player Codes of Conduct.  You will be asked to abide by it.

• No soccer uniforms at the tryouts - Please!
• Player evaluations will be the basis for determining team placements.
• We encourage children to participate on the first day and return for the second day if they would like a chance to improve their performance.
• Parents have the right to review their child's tryout performance with the team's coach, but performances of other children will be kept confidential.
• Provided that we have adequate coaching, we intend to assign all children to a team register for U8, U9, and U10 teams.
• Bow United Soccer intends to assign as many children as possible to teams, however there may not be enough children or coaches to operate Classic and Challenger teams in all age groups.  We will do our best to meet registration requests.
• Challenger U10, U11, U12, U13, and U14 teams are limited in roster size by the Granite State Soccer League in which we participate.  Therefore it is possible that some children who tryout may not make the team roster.
• Coaches of Challenger teams may choose to limit their roster size based on player's ability.  We do not always carry a full roster.
• Children must register and attend evaluations for their age/grade appropriate team.
• Girls are encouraged to play on their gender appropriate team (if available), however gender will not be a factor in determining rosters for the boys teams.
• Children requesting to play on 2 Challenger teams (double-rostering) must register and attend evaluations for both teams.  Double-rostering requests will be honored as space and ability permits.  If a child is successful in being rostered on two teams, a primary and secondary team must be designated and approved by Bow United.
• Children from outside of Bow are welcome to register for our teams as space permits.  Our teams are limited to no more than 25% from outside of Bow (averaged over teams offered in age/gender category).

Our teams typically practice 1-2 times per week and play at least one game per week.

• Most away games are played within a 1-hour drive of Bow.
• Team fees cover club costs for equipment, league fees, referee fees, tournament/jamboree entry fees, and special training as available. 
• Please recognize that while all our coaches are licensed, they are non-paid volunteers.
• Please do not order uniforms until teams have been assigned.
  • All uniforms may be used for multiple seasons.
  • Player numbers must be approved by the team coach.

Player Final Registration (paperwork and player cards) will take place shortly after evaluations and team assignments are completed.
