SELECT, ELITE or ULTRA Program: PLAYERS BORN IN 2009 OR EARLIER - REGISTER FOR TRYOUTS NOW: Players born in 2009 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 2019/20 season: Signing Day in July 2019 until Tryouts June 2020.
Signing up for a team formation session is available in May: To participate in Villarreal Nebraska Academy's tryouts/evaluations, sign up for a session 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 session. The cost of tryouts is $15, which provides up to 1-3 tryout sessions. Note, that each player can choose which tryout session(s) to attend, and attendance at all of the sessions is highly recommended but not required.
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 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.
