• Girls:  All girls should plan to attend all listed tryouts for the birth year they are trying out for

• Boys: All boys should plan to attend the first tryout for the birth year they are trying out for (Take note for those with alphabetical listings and ensure the appropriate tryout for your last name);  Evaluating coaches will then provide instructions on which tryouts to attend thereafter.  Players will not necessarily attend all listed tryouts, but all players are guaranteed to attend at least 2 tryout sessions. NOTE: players granted special consideration to register to join the tryout process late cannot be guaranteed 2 tryouts.​

• All players must register and pay a tryout fee in order to try out for an Ottawa Next Level team.  Unregistered players CANNOT be named to an ONL roster.

• ​No walk-ins permitted.  Tryout Registration for 2025-2026 will be ONLINE ONLY.

• Online registration for any given team will close 24 hours before the first tryout.  No exceptions.  This allows us to prepare tryout lists for coaches, and for coaches to plan effective tryout sessions.

• For players trying out for ONL-X, there will be lots of time following the naming of ONL-X rosters to register for ONL tryouts.  There is a separate tryout fee for each of these programs.

• Please ensure you provide an accurate email address during tryout registration, and ensure you opt-in to receive emails from KYBA, to ensure you receive important information regarding tryouts.  NOTE: YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE EMAIL REMINDERS TO ATTEND, REGISTRANTS MUST PLAN TO ATTEND ALL TRYOUTS LISTED, OR as instructed by evaluating coaches at tryouts. 

• Tryout registration is by birth year eligibility and all players must register with their birth year.  If you wish to "try up" to play up at an older age level, please notify our Administrator.  Note: It is only in rare circumstances that a player of extraordinary ability will play up.  If a player attends tryouts for their birth year and coaches feel they may be a prospect to play up they will provide further details.

• Bring a water bottle, indoor shoes (outdoor footwear not permitted in gyms by players, coaches or parents) 

• Arrive ~10 minutes early to check in and change shoes; note school doors are only unlocked at 6pm for evening tryouts.  Note details on the tryout schedule to help you find the proper school entry doors.  

• For U12 and older, tryouts will be large, so parents will not be permitted in the gym during tryouts.  For U10-U11 tryouts, parents may stay and observe in the gym, but must remain quiet and out-of-bounds.  If parents are noisy they may be asked to leave.  As per Community Use Contractual Agreements with school boards, NO players or family members are permitted anywhere else in the schools during tryouts besides the gym.  No loitering is permitted in hallways, foyers, lunchroom etc while family members wait for their players.  We thank you for your understanding. 

• We wish the best of luck to all players trying out with us this season!  Tryouts should be considered an opportunity to learn and grow and we hope it will be a positive experience for all of you!  Our evaluating coaches are looking forward to seeing all of the players!
