What if I'm registered in a Recreational Program?
If you are registered in a Phoenix FC Recreational Program, you do not need to attend assessments. However, if you are wanting to attend assessments just to see how you fare, you can sign up using the "Assessment Only" form above. If you are selected for a Competitive team for the Indoor 2025-26 season, we will transfer your Recreational package to a Competitive package.
What happens at assessments?
Phoenix FC assessments are designed to lessen the stress and anxiety placed on athletes around the assessment window. Assessments consist of playing small-sided games (3v3/4v4/5v5) in order to generate lots of touches on the ball, keep a high tempo of play, and simulate game environments that allow athletes to real-time problem solve and strategize. Phoenix FC technical staff and assessors will move players around to different fields in order to see how they play with, and against, their peers. This format allows for athletes to focus on what they do best - playing hard, being brave, and putting in their best effort! All parents have to do is relax and just watch.
Parents have a huge impact on the mental and emotional well-being of their athlete. During the assessment window, remember, - I love to watch you play!
What happens if I don't make the team?
All we can ask for is your best effort. If you aren't selected for a Phoenix FC Competitive team during the 2025-26 Indoor season, there are the following options:
1) Play for Phoenix FC in our Tier 4 Recreational League
If you are registered in RAMP under a Competitive package, we will be able to transfer your package to our Recreational Program. We also recommend notifying your coach and Phoenix FC technical directors that you are hoping to be a trialist option.
2) Issue a refund on registration
If you are registered in RAMP under a Competitive package, we will be able to issue you a refund in accordance with our refund policy.
