2026/2027 Tryouts
It's time to register for the 2026/2027 tryouts!
Current Players: We are prioritizing our returning players, with invitations for the 2026/2027 season going out earlier than in past years. Remember—player evaluations happen throughout the entire season. Tryouts are primarily for assessing new players.
What we need from you now: log into your Demosphere account and register your player for tryouts. This step is required for all current players as we plan for next season.
New Players: We’re excited to welcome you to the Lakota FC family! To get started, visit our website and click “Register” in the top right corner. Create a Demosphere account, add your player, and sign up for the 2026/2027 Competitive Tryouts.
