Apply and backup status lookup
Apply for tryouts at /tryouts (~90 seconds). After that, sign in to /portal for evaluations, offers, and roster decisions. Use /tryouts/status only if you cannot sign in.
Before you start
- Player and parent contact info ready
- Target team age group selected
Is this the right guide?
Use this if you
- You have not applied yet.
- You lost access to your email and need a limited public lookup.
Do not use this if you
| Situation | Use instead |
|---|---|
| You are a returning rostered family | /help/sign-in |
| You are signed in and want the full hub | /portal directly |
When to use this
| Your situation | Open this guide? |
|---|---|
| First-time tryout application | Yes |
| Signed in — track eval and offers | No |
| Cannot sign in — need status only | Yes |
Steps
- Open /tryouts on the club site.Expected: Tryout application form loads with team and player fields.
- Complete and submit pre-registration.Expected: Confirmation screen; check email for portal login when staff provision it.
- Sign in at /login?from=/portal with the application email.Expected: Tryout hub appears on /portal — system of record from here forward.
- If you cannot sign in, use /tryouts/status as backup lookup only.Expected: Limited status — no development reads, roster player cards, or payments.

Troubleshooting
Applied but no portal login email
Likely cause: Provisioning runs after staff processing; email may lag.
Fix: Wait 24 hours; use /tryouts/status; then contact the club with application email.
/tryouts/status shows different info than portal
Likely cause: Backup page is intentionally limited.
Fix: Fix sign-in (see /help/sign-in) and use /portal as system of record.
What you still cannot do here
- /tryouts/status does not replace the portal for enrolled families.
- /portal/preview is marketing — not operational help.
Portal button labels may differ slightly — club staff can edit parent-facing copy at /admin/portal-copy. The headings in this guide match the default shipped text.
