River City will host tryouts for local, regional, and national-level teams for the 2025-26 season. Our Pre-tryout clinics are to help you have a better tryout. If a coach can observe your skills multiple times they can make a btter assessment of your level and placement. It also give players the better chance "in case" you have an off day at the actual tryout. You may sign up for 1, 2, 3 or 4 dates. You can select the dates. The more clinics you attend the lower the cost/clinic.

Tryout Information
Check out our three levels of competition to help fit your needs!
National
National level players are required to go to Nationals in Orlando. These teams will play three major tournaments plus nationals. The remainder of the season will be Omaha, Lincoln, KC, or Des Moines.
Regional
Regional level players will play in Omaha, Lincoln, and within a 4-hour range of Omaha. Regional teams can go to any major tournament if they choose.
Local
Local level teams are ideal for multi-sport athletes and players wanting a club experience without the full commitment and expenses of a full season. There will be two local seasons, Winter (Dec-Feb) & Spring (Mar-May).

Only select one age group to try out for. You may play up an age. If you are playing "up" and are not selected on a team in the age level you preferred, you may opt to play in your real age group. Coaches will speak with you about this at try outs.
The following is usually the grade and corresponding age group:
11u = 5th grade (many 4th graders will tryout for this age group)
12u = 6th grade
13u = 7th grade
14u = 8th grade
15u = 9th grade
16u = 10th grade
17u = 11th grade
18u = 12th grade
Players may try out for an older age group at anytime, never younger.
At River City, each player will try out for a team. NO ONE has or will be granted or offered a position on a team prior to a tryout. For more on Our Philosophy, click here.
For anyone questioning what level their daughter would be best participating in, give Deb a call. 402-213-4644. For any player we have never worked with, Deb will be glad to do an evaluation through a private lesson to give you the best advice possible. If you have played for RC or have done TVA camps or leagues Deb or Krista can give you advice as to the level of your child.
