Trial and selection process

Players will be evaluated and placed in our three different teams based on their level.  Exact schedule information will only be communicated to players who have registered for a tryout through the club's registration platform, PowerUp.

What to register for

Players new to the First Team squad must register for an evaluation in PowerUp. - this is done by registering for the item called "2026 SUMMER Competitive Evaluation Fee » Men's Competitive". Registered players will then receive a communication from our staff required tryouts. Once the squad is finalized by the staff and players receive invitation letters, selected players will be required to complete their registration for the program by registering for the "2026 Summer ADULT Men High performance" item in PowerUp.  

Players not selected

As with any competitive-level program, not all players who are trialing will be selected for the final squad. With that said, players who do not make the high performance squad may also be invited to join another Atlético Ottawa Juniors Men's team. Information on the club's other OCSL teams is available on the Men's Soccer for Life page.
