2024-25 TRYOUT REGISTRATION LINK - CLICK THE PURPLE BAR BELOW!!!

TRYOUT REGISTRATION DEADLINE THURSDAY, OCTOBER 10TH!!!

ALL ATHLETES MUST TRYOUT AT AGE LEVEL.

If any athlete is considered being moved up an age level, that information will be communicated to the athlete at the conclusion of either the club or the team tryout. 

What school you go to, what team you are on at your school, if you are playing "up", or if you were cut,  what team you made last year for MN Attack, or if you played for a different club, etc. has no bearing on MN Attack team placement. 

All team placements are based solely on our two day process.

All tryouts are held at

Mankato, MN

Please contact Coach Kirby at mnattack@gmail.com if athlete is still in season (going to state) for her High School team. Athletes are eligible to compete in tryouts after they lose their last game of their season. 

JVA/MN Attack will allow grade waivered players. The age waiver will allow the athlete to play at grade level with their peers instead of based on her DOB - provided they are not more than one year older than the current age definition. Please contact Coach Kirby at mnattack@gmail.com if your athlete will need to be grade waivered.

YOU MUST REGISTER BASED ON YOUR DOB (JO AGE)

It is rare that athletes will play above their age level. MN Attack will consider moving players to play at a higher age level based on numbers, positional need and skill level. When a player is moved up an age level, she may make any level (1s, 2s, 3s, etc.). Each team is formed based on similar skill levels.  Example: a 15s player may be moved to our 16-3 team. This does not mean if she were to stay at the 15s level that she would make the 15-1 team. It simply means that her skill level is most similar to the athletes at the 16-3 level AND that the team would benefit from her position. 

Multi-sport Athletes: We encourage athletes to participate in other sports and activities.  We believe school sports come first. We also believe it is imperative for athletes to be at practice and be with their team in order to improve and prepare for competition. Playing time may be reduced even if excused missed practices. It is up to the coach's discretion if the athlete is ready to compete with her team.

MULTI-SPORT ATHLETES MUST BE ABLE TO ATTEND 80% OF ALL MN ATTACK ACTIVITIES (PRACTICES, TOURNAMENTS, TEAM BONDINGS, ETC)

Please do not register for tryouts if you can not commit to at least 80%
