PORT ANGELES — Storm King Soccer Club begins tryouts this weekend for its 2012 select youth teams.
Storm King teams will begin practice during the summer and will play in a competitive traveling league this fall.
Players in boys U11, U12, U13, U15 and U18 age groups, and in girls U11, U12, U13 and U14 brackets are encouraged to try out.
Tryouts are free, and families will not need to commit to any fees or uniforms until teams are selected and announced in late June.
To begin the tryout process, go to www.stormking
soccer.com to register.
Actual tryout dates for the various age groups are listed on the site.
Tryouts will be at the Agnew Soccer Fields off of Old Olympic Highway, 1240 N. Barr Road, Port Angeles.
Players are asked to arrive 15 minutes prior to the scheduled tryout.
Teams are formed based on player and coach interest.
If a team is not listed for a particular age group that parents or guardians are interested in, they should contact Storm King.
Enough interest in a new age category could jump-start a new team there.
Playing up
Players may try out for teams one year above their age group only if their current age group team is unavailable.
Storm King Soccer Club’s mission is to promote soccer as an important community youth activity and to provide youth soccer players from the North Olympic Peninsula with the opportunity to play affordable select soccer.
Port Angeles Youth Soccer Club, Sequim Junior Soccer Club and Storm King SC make up the Olympic Youth Soccer Association, and this group formed Storm King in the early 1990s so that local players would have the opportunity to compete in competitive leagues outside the Port Angeles and Sequim area.
The Storm King Agnew Fields are located at the corner of Old Olympic Highway and North Barr Road.
Storm King SC is an all-volunteer club composed of volunteer board members, coaches, managers and maintenance workers.
