GIRLS ID SESSIONS

All players must register for the Player Placement Process before attending the ID Session.

Learn about the Player Placement Process here.

Current ID Sessions coming up for the 2026-2027 are for Senior Girls in the Regional Academy and State program. See below for more details.

Birth-Year to School-Year 2026-27

Starting in the 2026-27 season, all girls National, Regional, and State programming will be going from using Birth-Year to School-Year for team formation. This decision was made by USYS. Current U15 players born from August 1 to December 31 will remain a U15 player for the 2026-2027 season. These trapped U15 players will be evaluated with the rising U16-U19 players at these sessions.

SENIOR GIRLS ID SESSIONS 2026-27

Senior Girls ID Sessions (U16-U19) are available for 2026-27 season.

All players must register for the Player Placement Process before attending the ID Session. If you are an external player trying out for the Girls Academy, you will need to fill out the trialist form too.

NOTE: With the USYS decision to change to a school-year breakdown for team formation, trapped U15 players (those born from 8/1 - 12/31) will remain a U15 player for the 2026-2027 season. These trapped U15 players will be evaluated with the rising U16-U19 players at these sessions.

NATIONAL GIRLS ACADEMY 2026-27

Joining our National Programs:

Thank you for being interested in our Girls National Program, our Girls Academy. We take great pride in not only developing high level soccer players, but also people of good character that will have a positive and lasting impact on the local community. There are two ways that a player can be considered this program:

Current Charlotte Independence Players: Players that are currently on one of our team rosters are constantly being evaluated by our staff. If we identify a player in another program and he/she is deemed to be at or close to the required level, they will be invited in for training by the program director.
External Players (not currently with CISC): Players that are not currently with our club must complete a trialist application. Once we receive the application, the information will be reviewed by our staff and taken into consideration when deciding whether to extend an invitation or not. If we decide not to extend an invitation, we will pass the information to our Regional Academy or State programs for consideration. If you are interested in our National Level Program, fill out the Trialist Form below and register for PPP. In order for your application to be reviewed you must first register for the 2026-2027 Player Placement Process program in PlayMetrics. Your application will not be reviewed until your complete this registration.

THE TRIALIST APPLICATION IS FOR SCHOOL YEARS U16-U19 ONLY.

August 1, 2010 - July 31, 2011 = U16

August 1, 2009 - July 31, 2010 = U17

August 1, 2007 - July 31, 2009 = U19
