Tryout Form

The goal of the Excelsior NY Academy Travel Program is to provide youth soccer players in the Jamaica Bay area an elite local club where they can develop their skills and passion for the game. The goal of the Academy is to provide players with a pathway to reach their goals, on and off the field. The Academy is also crucial for developing homegrown players for our first team in the future.

Tryouts are for players born 2011-2020. Players will be placed in their appropriate age group for tryout sessions. The gender breakdown for the different age groups below is as follows: Boys born 2011 to 2020 Girls born 2015 to 2019

Tryouts will be take place across the spring, with our first round beginning the week of April 20th. Tryouts will continue throughout the months of May and June.
