Please read all information for the 2025/2026 Age Group requirements to find your appropriate time to tryout. 

Each age group will have at least two tryout sessions they can attend. They do not need to attend both, but attending more than provides coaches a better chance to evaluate players. If you are not able to attend tryouts during this time frame (due to injury or being out of town) still register and note that in your registration.

2. Registration Technology Platform (same as 2024-2025 season) -  Introducing "PlayMetrics"

• WYSA (Wisconsin Youth Soccer Assoication) has adopted a new back-end technology platform to replace Demosphere and GotSport to be used for player and team registration and season management. To make the process of syncing our players and information from Fond du Lac to WYSA easy, the Fond du Lac Soccer Association has decided to also utilize this new tool "PlayMetrics" for our Academy and Select registration and team management.
