Start here: the September and October tryout window
This guide brings the published 2026–27 youth club tryouts around Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, Morrisville, and nearby communities into one place. The sessions below were still in the future when we checked on September 9, 2026. All dates are in 2026 and all times are Eastern.
Most upcoming sessions are for younger girls’ teams. Many older girls’ and boys’ tryouts have already happened, but Jammers has published boys’ sessions and several clubs offer supplemental evaluations. Use the group-specific details below; a club having tryouts does not mean every age group has openings.
Choose the age group using the club’s current age-definition instructions, rather than school grade alone. Check whether both sessions are required and which gym to use. This is a broad local roundup, not a guarantee that every small club or last-minute announcement is included.

Other clubs: ask about openings or the next evaluation
An earlier tryout date does not necessarily mean every team is full. These clubs need a direct inquiry instead of a calendar assumption. We did not verify a future scheduled tryout for them as of September 9.
| Club | What to do now |
|---|---|
| Direction — Clayton | Ask about 13U/14U openings; no dated evaluation published. |
| Carolina Alliance — Morrisville | August 4–6 tryouts have passed. Ask about evaluation options; the club does not anticipate 14U-or-younger teams. |
| JoCo — Clayton | August 2–3 tryouts have passed. Contact the club about openings. |
| Empowr — Durham, boys | August tryouts have passed; ask about the next opportunity. |
| PowrHaus — boys | No verified future date on the official page. |
| Jump City Jaguars — Johnston County | The site still describes the previous season; current dates need confirmation. |
More local clubs and keeping this guide current
The Carolina Region directory is another way to find clubs, including Bunn, Carolina Valor, Club Boom, North Durham, and AYM. We did not establish a current dated tryout schedule for those programs in this review. A missing date here does not mean a club is inactive.
