Required Memberships and Tryout Registration
Tryout Registration Process:
1. Sportsengine Parent Account
2. Purchase Player Membership from Region site
3. Register for Tryouts with Momentum (Must complete Step 1 and 2 before registering). Players must be registered for tryouts in order to participate.
1. Sportsengine Account:
This is a parent/Guardian requirement. Do not have your players set up and purchase their own memberships. It will cause administrative delays with the region and the clubs and could potentially delay your player from participating. Please read instructions below.
-
Sportsengine For Returning club players: Parents of returning players should already have a SportsEngine parental account login (Or "Household" Account) from last season. Go to Login.Sportsengine.com and ensure you remember your login email and password. If you don't remember your password, choose the password reset option. Once logged in, find your sons membership which was purchased last season and expires Sept 1st, 2023. Write down the membership number. You will use this when registering for tryouts. Players ARE eligible for tryouts this season using the current membership since it is good until September 1st, 2023. If your player makes a roster, you will need to renew your son's membership prior to Sept 1st, 2023 for the upcoming 2024 season. New memberships will be good from Sept 1, 2023 until Sept 1, 2024 and are purchased via the region website directly. Renewing your players membership instructions can be found below if you would like to complete that early.
-
Sportsengine For new club players: Parents will need to set up a new Parent Account (Also known as a "Household account") at Login.Sportsengine.com . Please be sure to remember your new login email and password. When setting up this new account, be sure to enter the Adult/Guardian's information into the profile, not the player. Once you have created your account and can access Sportsengine, you can leave the SE site and continue to step 2, purchasing your players membership.
2. Purchasing Memberships
-
Memberships For Returning Club Players – If you are not a returning club player, skip this step and see section for New Club Players below.
-
You may purchase the new player membership via the region page (or via the hyperlinks in this article), which will take effect Sept 1. If you are going to wait until closer to Sept 1 to renew, then continue on to the next step, "Registering for Tryouts at Momentum". If you are going to renew your players membership early, It is very important you click the correct link when purchasing the membership. On the region page, you will NOT purchase the "summer" membership (because you have an active membership until Sept 1,2023), you will choose the regular indoor membership. If your player is turning 18 at any point before August 31, 2024, you will need to click the "Junior 18s Indoor". If your player is 17 or younger, click the "Junior 17s and Younger" link. *Players turning 18 before August 31st, 2024 will need to complete a mandatory safesport training inside Sportsengine prior to competition starting.
-
When you click the membership link, it will redirect you to Sportsengine. If it doesn't automatically log you in, log in with your parent account email and password. Once logged in at the top of the screen, it will ask you WHO IS THIS MEMBERSHIP FOR? Do not click the parent name. This is where you will select your players name. If the player is NOT listed, then Click Add Player/Or Child. Fill out the Players information because that is who the membership is for. Be careful, DO NOT put Parent information for the player membership. This will cause administrative delays getting it changed. Complete the steps to purchase.

FAQ's
Can I stay to watch my son during tryouts?
No, this is a closed tryout to parents. Parents will be asked to leave or wait in their vehicle and will be given a time to return.
How will I know if my son makes a team?
Players will be notified at the end of the tryout session if they made a team or not. If your player makes a team, they will contact you right away and you will be asked to fill out the required tryout paperwork, forms, contracts, meet with coaches, and submit payment to secure roster spot, etc.
What happens after I complete my tryout paperwork?
Once your paperwork is complete, you will then go to the payment table to turn in your $800 commitment deposit. This secures your roster spot and allows us to get the custom uniform package ordered ASAP. For those on payment plans, this deposit also covers remaining August Dues. During this time, your player will be sized for their uniforms and you will be given next steps, practice info, practice schedules, etc.
When and where will practices be if my son makes a team?
Practices will be either Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday from 5-7PM or 7-9PM depending upon which team they make at tryouts. Practices will be held at Haven Church or Desert Sky Middle School.
Are there going to be fundraising opportunities?
Momentum will offer several fundraising opportunities to assist with the costs/fees for each team throughout the season. Team fundraisers will benefit the entire team equally. Individual fundraisers will benefit each player individually.
What costs are associated with travel?
Momentum travel dues are built into the season dues with the exception of the remaining dues for the summer/Nationals season. ALL extra costs, such as travel expenses, hotel, etc. are the responsibility of the player.
Who is responsible for the athletes when we travel?
We strongly recommend that parents travel with their player or send their player with another adult on the team. Players are allowed to travel and stay with another family traveling as long as there is at least 1 adult in the room. Coaches will also be responsible for making sure all players are accounted for upon arrival and throughout the tournament.
Where do we stay when we travel?
Momentum will provide parents with hotel information as it becomes available. Some tournaments will require that the team stays at the same hotel and others are more flexible. Players should plan to stay at the assigned team hotel.
