FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do I have to pay a second tryout fee for the Main Camp (Sept/Aug)?
No, if you paid the $399 tryout fee in the spring, you will have full access to Raiders tryouts in the fall.
Will the AA team roster be confirmed after Spring Camp?
No, this is not our intention. The Head Coach does have the opportunity to extend commitments to players whom they are confident will be part of their team in the upcoming season, up to 17. The number of committed players is listed above.
Do I have to attend the Spring Camp to be considered for the Bolts?
No, players do not have to attend Spring Camp and can elect to join the tryout process in the fall. The fee to join the tryout process in the fall is $249.
Why has the tryout fee changed this season?
Players are receiving increased ice time. Please note that, as a not-for-profit organization, we consistently reinvest all income generated by the program back into it. Tryout fees are applied directly to team and program expenses for the upcoming season.
