Interested in becoming part of the Carolina Locos? Each season, we hold tryouts and player evaluations for all age groups. We’re always looking for players who bring a great attitude, strong effort, and a willingness to learn. If you’re ready to work hard, be a great teammate, and have fun doing it, we’d love to see you on the field.
General Tryout Dates
Spring Season: Late October/Early November
Fall Season: Late May/Early June
Have A Whole Team Interested In Joining?
Do you have a team (or part of one) looking for the right home? The Carolina Locos welcome existing teams or small groups of players who want to come over together. Whether you’re an established team or looking to build one, we make the transition simple and supportive.
Joining the Locos means you can focus on coaching and developing players.....we’ll help handle the rest.
