2025-2026 Tryouts

Cap City Athletic 1847 will offer teams for boys and girls from U8-U19. There is a possibility we will form multiple teams in all age groups.  Cap City is interested in quality over quantity.

We are looking for players that want to develop to the highest of their capabilities. We want to create teams that can compete at the highest levels in the state of Michigan and the Midwest region of the United States.

2025-2026 Player Evaluations and Tryouts will be held from June 2-8.  All tryout sessions will be held at the East Lansing Soccer Complex. 3700 Coleman Rd, East Lansing, MI.

All players should register for tryouts in their own birth year.   

Tryout registration is active. Please click on the link above to register for tryouts. Create an account or log in through PlayMetrics and sign up for 2025-2026 tryouts. Online tryout registration will be required for all participants. This is the only way we know for sure that you are interested in playing for Cap City during the 2025-2026 season.

All players and/or parents/guardians will be notified of their selection to a Cap City Athletic 1847 team onsite during tryouts. Players and Parents/Guardians are asked to be prepared to commit to an offer onsite or with in 24 hours of your offer. Cap City Athletic 1847's primary goal is to have each child playing at the competitive level appropriate to his or her ability.

Due to our teams playing in multiple leagues which have different allowable tryout start dates, we have a multi-stage tryout process. Our Pre ECNL and ECNL teams will hold ID sessions between May 19th and June 2nd.

Our first teams, or Grey teams, will play in the ECNL RL Greater Michigan Alliance. For more information on those tryouts, please click here.

Players who do not make our first teams or who do not wish to be considered for our first teams should attend the assessment week and tryouts listed here.
