Registration is open May 1, Registration due by July 9.
3B. SELECT, ELITE Teams: PLAYERS BORN IN 2011 OR EARLIER - REGISTER FOR TEAM FORMATIONS NOW: Players born in 2011 or earlier are only allowed to register with Villarreal Nebraska Academy during specific "Team Formation" dates that are regulated by Nebraska State Soccer Association (NSSA). Team formation events are often referred to as tryouts or evaluations, and they will end with clubs extending offers to players to join. Once an offer is accepted, that player will be a member of his/her chosen club for the ENTIRE 2021/22 season: From Signing Day in June/July 2021 until July 31, 2022.
Signing up for a team formation session is available May 1: To participate in Villarreal Nebraska Academy's team formations, sign up by logging into the Villarreal Nebraska Academy website, clicking the My Account button at the top right of the page, and then signing up for a tryout/evaluation/team formation session. The cost of tryouts is $15, which provides 1-3 tryout sessions. The more our coaches get to know and see players the better they are able to place players in the most appropriate placement. Attending all sessions is highly encouraged.
Players participating in tryout/evaluation sessions will take part in activities designed to showcase individual skills, comfort with the ball, and ability to respond to instructions. It is not unusual for players to feel nervous when trying out for a new club; however, Villarreal Nebraska Academy understands learning experiences and teachable moments. Prospective players should feel welcome to try their best and have fun along the way. No Fear and Playing with Joy are main principles of our club philosophy, and we understand all players have varying places to start but all players have desire, potential and come to learn.
It is our player development focus and our true Academy beliefs that all players have the opportunity to learn the game correctly. Our goal is to form multiple teams in each age group for like-minded, like-skilled players to have teams for all players within one of our program levels.
Current VNA players do have the option for re-registration on June 6 or June 27, to sign with VNA prior to the team formation events but you must still register for team formations.
What's After Team Formation Events?Official offers will be emailed or provided in writing and final registration is required approximately 1-3 days after it is sent. If you need more time to make a decision, please let us know, so we can hold your position, if needed. Everyone will receive an email with your team formation status.
