TRY US!

Center State will be hosting evaluations for 2025-2026 house/snowbelt teams April 19th 2025, times TBD. These are not traditional try outs. Players are NOT required to attend to make a team at Center State and no cuts will be made! New and returning players are both invited to attend.

These ARE a great opportunity to meet the coaching staff for the 2025-2026 team for your player's age level, as well as meet some of your potential teammates.

These will serve as an opportunity for our coaches to determine what level their team will be for the next season, as well as for our organization to decide if there is enough players to host two teams at that age level for the upcoming season.

If you are curious if Center State might be right for your player for next season, check back for head coach announcements and times for Try Us!
