Tryout Registration - New Players

In order to be evaluated for the competitive program,
new players must:

• Create an account in PlayMetrics

If you already have an existing PlayMetrics account, please login to register.

• Attend their respective tryout (by birth year)
  

Parents/Guardians should create an account in their name and add each child as a participant. 

Tryout information will be emailed to registered participants closer to their tryout date.  If you have any questions, please email our program directors,  Mark Gibbs, Arkansas Rising Club Sporting Director at mark@arkansasrising.org or Brandon Hom, Arkansas Rising Boys Technical Director at brandon@arkansasrising.org.

The Tryout Process

1. Registration:  Players can register anytime before tryouts or at tryouts. Communication will be sent out each day with updates.  Only registered participants will receive specific tryout communication.  We encourage early registration!
   
2. Tryouts: Competitive tryouts will be held for each age group at Burns Park Soccer Complex at 1 Soccer Avenue, North Little Rock, Arkansas, 72118.  Please note specific field information will be emailed each day of Tryouts.  Players are encouraged to attend all three days of tryouts if possible.
   
3. Player Selection: Based on evaluations made during tryouts, coaches use a rating system to form teams within each age group. Teams are  tiered and created with that in mind. 
4. Email:  You will receive information on the status of your player 5 days after the final tryout date of their respective age group which may include: "Selected for a team or Still in Consideration".  You will be asked to either accept or decline the spot on the team if an invitation to join is sent.  Once all the selections have been made, our club will send out an "All Invites Sent" email.  If you receive this email and you have not received an email invite offering your child a spot on a team, then unfortunately, your child was likely not selected.  This email may take several days, depending on your age group. This email may be routed to your SPAM/JUNK folder.  If after 5 days you do not see an email in your inbox/junk/spam folder, please email: questions@arkansasrising.org
5. Team Invite: If you received an email, you will receive an email through PlayMetrics with a Team Invite.  The invite will be sent to the email address associated with the PlayMetrics account your family used to register for tryouts. Please click on the invite to formally accept your child’s spot on their competitive team.  This process usually begins 5 days after the player's age groups tryouts.
6. Payment: Accepting your child’s spot on the team in PlayMetrics will enable you to make payment for your competitive fees and submit the required paperwork (medical waiver, birth certificate, headshot photo).
7. Uniform:  Uniforms purchases will only be for new Rising players.  A link will be sent to complete the uniform ordering process. This process usually begins in late June/early July once players have completed their online registration.
