*It is advised that you have prior club team experience before signing up for these camps. The camp format is Offense Day 1 and Defense Day 2. The first 2 hours are individual skill-building and assessment, the second 2 hours are 6 v 6 oriented drills, so a prior knowledge of team offense and team defense is optimal.

UNDERSTANDING THE TRYOUT PROCESS |
We have extensive information about the tryout process on a separate page. We encourage you to familiarize yourself with NW Juniors Tryout Process for our club season so you understand how it works if your athlete receives an offer. Included on that page:
TRYOUTS AND TEAM LOCATIONS |
Our Club offers teams in two separate geographic locations: "Eastside" and "Northend". These locations are determined by where the teams practice - not by where the players live.
Players often times live in close proximity to both locations and must choose which opportunity is the best fit for them. If your drive to the Northend practice gyms is manageable, we encourage you to choose our Northend teams for tryouts, since due to population density there are less players trying out for our Northend teams.
EASTSIDE TEAMS |
Our Eastside Teams practice primarily in the Bellevue/Factoria area. Athletes North-South from Renton to Kirkland and East-West from Seattle to Snoqualmie typically play on our Eastside teams. For a full list of Eastside practice gyms, visit our PRACTICES page.
