EUSA Rochester Academy
 U7-U19 Registration & Tryout Process

The transition from the Rochester Jr. Rhinos to the Empire United Soccer Academy begins with the tryout sessions for the 2008-09 soccer season.  Before attending the tryouts sessions, we ask you to complete the 2008-09 Empire United Soccer Academy - Rochester Academy on-line registration.  The registration process will begin on July 1, 2008.  You may also complete the online registration at time of tryouts with support from the Empire United Staff, as needed.

Each player must register with the Empire United Soccer Academy in the age group matching the player’s birth date referenced in the USYSA age group matrix.  Please see the Age Group Matrix to verify the appropriate age group for your player.  All players should expect to play in age appropriate circumstances.  Player movements between age groups will be determined solely by the EUSA DOC / Executive staff.

Online Registration for 2008-09 Tryouts is now OPEN!

Tryouts for all Boys and Girls EUSA Rochester teams will be held between July 28th and August 10th.  All players that plan to tryout should visit the Online Registration site (using the link to the left) and register for the appropriate age group.  Registering for tryouts does not commit you to anything other than the $20.00 registration fee,  You can decide if you want to join the program, after the selections have been made.
