Simply click the Register button at the top right of the page and create an account.
* Please note that this does not make you a Villarreal Nebraska Academy player/member. It does allow the public to register for camps, clinics, tryouts, etc. If you are admitted to the club in July 2020 after team formation, you can use the same account to register for a 2020/21 program.

Players should attend their birth year team formation group. Players may express interest in playing up 1-year on their "Tryout" registration for coaches/staff consideration. Players may be INVITED by our coaching staff to attend an older session during the team formation process. Players who show ability to "play-up" may be invited to play their age group and additionally up an age group.
3A. PLAYERS BORN IN 2011 OR LATER - JOIN Villarreal Nebraska Academy CLUB NOW: Players born in 2011 or later are allowed by Nebraska State Soccer Association to join Villarreal Nebraska Academy and register for any of our programs at any time during the year. Players in this age range who are interested in joining our club can do so now by logging into the Villarreal Nebraska Academy website, clicking the My Account button at the top right of the page, and then selecting the applicable program of their choosing.
Formal team formation events are not required for these younger age groups; however, it is recommended that all players participate in one or more of the evaluation/clinic sessions in June. The total cost is $15, which includes 1-5 clinic/evaluation sessions. To participate, log into the Villarreal Nebraska Academy website, click the My Account button at the top right of the page. Signing up for these sessions will be available in April.
Yellow-TEAM: U10 & Under Players (Players Born in 2011 or Later):
Registration is open April 1st, Registration due by July 1st!
3B. SELECT, ELITE or ULTRA Program: PLAYERS BORN IN 2010 OR EARLIER - REGISTER FOR TRYOUTS NOW: Players born in 2010 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 2020/21 season: Signing Day in July 2020 until Tryouts June 2021.
Signing up for a team formation session is available in April: 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 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. The more our coaches get to know and see players the better they are able to place players in the most appropriate team/program.
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.
