Assessments FAQ’s
Q: Who needs to attend assessments?
Phoenix FC assessments are only for those who wish to play in the Phoenix FC Competitive Program. Teams in the Phoenix FC Competitive Program will play in the Edmonton Minor Soccer (EMSA) League.
Q: When should I register for Phoenix FC?
If you're looking to commit and play for Phoenix FC in the Competitive Program (U10-U19), we recommend registering ahead of time to take advantage of our early-bird pricing options. Program prices and details can be found under the Programs tab.
Q: Do I have to register for Phoenix FC to attend assessments?
Short answer - no. We offer a fillable form below to attend assessments for those wanting to try-out, but not yet ready to fully commit to playing for Phoenix FC.
Please Note: If selected for a Phoenix FC Competitive team, players that have completed the form above will need to complete TeamLinkt registration to confirm their spot. Early-bird pricing rates will not apply.
Q: What if I'm registered in a Recreational Program?
If you are registered in a Phoenix FC Recreational Program, you do not need to attend assessments.

If you are selected for a Competitive team, we will transfer your Recreational package to a Competitive package.
Q: How are players evaluated?
Placement decisions are informed by:
Assessment session data and technical feedback
