Take the First Step Toward Excellence
2026 SPRING SEASON TRYOUTS
Ready to level up this spring?
Showcase your skills at our 2026 Spring Tryouts for our Spring Select (Half-Season) Teams!
These teams are designed for athletes who want high-quality training and competition through the spring season — without the full-season commitment.
Spring Tryouts are open to all athletes, whether or not you participated in our winter programs.
Why Attend Spring Tryouts?
Open to everyone - You do not need to have attended any previous tryout rounds. New players and returning athletes are all welcome.
Half-season commitment - Perfect for players who want focused training and tournament play without the full-year schedule.
Fresh opportunities - Spring Select teams are formed exclusively from these tryouts — all roster spots are determined here.
Fair, thorough evaluations - Every athlete receives a complete assessment from our coaching staff during the tryout session.
No previous tryout required
You do not need to have attended Summer or Fall tryouts to be considered. Spring Tryouts operate independently, and all players have an equal chance to earn a spot.

Equal playing time is not guaranteed, but HVVC aims for fair participation based on team goals. All players are expected to play during pool play unless they miss practice or face disciplinary issues.
Team Expectations

Regional Teams (Black & Grey)
High-level play with less travel—ideal for multi-sport athletes. Efforts made for fair pool play time; playoff play is coach’s decision.
Goal: Develop skills and strive for competitive results.
Select Teams (Silver | Copper & Purple | Green)
Shorter seasons (winter/spring) for players needing a flexible schedule. Follows Regional team policies with a reduced commitment.
Goal: Develop skills with less travel/time commitment.
Home League (10U, 12U, 14U)
