Each team will consist of 22 players. There will be approximately two players selected at each position.

Things that may change include, but are not limited to: • Depending on success/interest/participation, age-group teams could split into single age team groups, thus prompting the need for additional invitations/ tryouts, etc. • Houston event in spring may be revised, eliminated or an event (like a showcase) may be added

Teams will be created in two-year age groups. This excludes the 2008 age group. This group may only have a few 09 players.

The current registration/tryout is for the fall only. The intent is to hold TDP in the spring, using a similar model (ie. 22 players per team, invite/tryout, training, Houston event). Although spots are not guaranteed, if a player is on the fall team, it is likely the player should be able to continue on the spring team. The spring is a separate cost (minus uniforms; players can use the same kit (jerseys, shorts, socks) from the fall).

Step 1: Selection/Invitation - The directors from each of the 4 clubs have met and have mutually selected between 12 and 16 players for each team. There is no set allocation of types of players during this process, but all 4 clubs have to agree on these picks. These players will receive an emailed invitation. There will be a deadline to accept or decline. Step 2: Tryout - Based on the available spots after invitation acceptance, the remaining positions will be filled via tryout. Due to the continuation of Phase 2 and Hurricane Laura, the new tryout date is September 13. Spots will be filled by players from the 4 Dynamo Partners in Development first, although players from non-partners in development clubs can tryout.

Players will need to attend the following once teams are established - two to four training days in Louisiana at Burbank Soccer Complex (4 training sessions, 4 virtual sessions, November event). The dates are tentative and as follows: • September 13 (tryout date and first pool training for preselected players) • Pool training on September 18, October 18, November 1, and November 8 • Virtual training sessions with Dynamo/Dash staff each month • Three-day Houston trip to be held the week of Thanksgiving. This three-day event will include: • Training with Dynamo/Dash staff • Games vs Dynamo/Dash Academy Teams

The total registration cost is $255. This will include the tryout fee, training fees, virtual training cost, cost of Houston event (game fees, training fees).  It DOES NOT COVER uniform cost and travel/lodging to Houston. Uniforms will consist of 1 pair of socks, 1 short, and 2 jerseys. The estimated cost of one complete kit is $60 - $80.
