Read the evaluation and answer a roster offer
After tryouts, staff publish a written evaluation and may extend a roster offer. Accept or decline in the portal; a roster deposit may appear after acceptance.
Before you start
- Signed in at /portal
- Tryout registration in invited or evaluated status
Is this the right guide?
Use this if you
- Staff emailed that your evaluation or roster decision is in the portal.
- Tryout hub shows Accept/Decline or a roster card.
Do not use this if you
| Situation | Use instead |
|---|---|
| You have not tried out yet | /help/tryout-night |
| You are a returning player doing season setup | /help/season-setup |
When to use this
| Your situation | Open this guide? |
|---|---|
| Invited to roster — decision needed | Yes |
| Eval published, no offer yet | Wait — finish the step before |
| Already rostered and in season setup | No |
Steps
- Open /portal and select your tryout under Tryout hub.Expected: Tryout detail page loads with status and evaluation sections.
- Read the written evaluation when Published appears.Expected: Coach feedback and ratings are visible in TryoutEvalDetail.
- When invited, choose Accept or Decline on the roster offer.Expected: Your choice is recorded; staff see the response.
- If you accepted and a deposit is assigned, pay from Deposit due on home or the hub (see /help/payments).Expected: Deposit payment moves status toward rostered.
- If declined, read the outcome copy — no deposit button should appear.Expected: Clear next steps or thank-you message; no live Pay button.

Troubleshooting
Accepted but Pay deposit missing
Likely cause: Staff changed roster status, billing disabled, or offer type is not full-roster.
Fix: Contact the club; do not pay outside the portal unless staff instruct you.
Eval not visible
Likely cause: Staff have not published the evaluation yet.
Fix: Wait for the published email; backup /tryouts/status shows limited info.
What you still cannot do here
- You cannot undo accept/decline yourself — contact staff if you chose wrong.
- Alternate-offer and showcase paths use different copy — read the card for your offer type.
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.
