All Lighting competitive players are selected through a tryout process, as set by NorCal. Tryouts will be in May, please refer to the calendar below for more information. If you would like to get evaluated outside the tryout window, please contact our competitive program director ([email protected]) for more information.
The Lightning Program is NOT a pay-to-play program. We are a merit-based program, meaning you have to earn your roster spot based on our competitive player criteria. Players are evaluated on these 3 main attributes: mental, tactical, and physical. A player must go through a tryout or an evaluation before joining a Lightning team.
All tryouts will be held at Tom Bates Sport Complex. Please refer to your registration confirmation for exact details. If your player misses the tryout window, they can still be evaluated for the program. To get more information or to schedule an evaluation, please reach out to us at [email protected].
