WHAT TO EXPECT

Following tryouts, you will receive an email within 24 hours with your specific tryout results and what the next steps are to become a part of the Pipeline family.

CHOOSING YOUR PROGRAM

This tryout and evaluation process is for our NATIONAL and our PREMIER program. The REGIONAL program is a non-tryout program and more information can be found at the Boys Club Home under the Boys tab.

We ask that you register for the program you would like to participate in. Following tryouts, we will submit an offer with the program that we believe will be the best fit. You do not need to attend multiple tryouts registered for different programs.
