Open & Transparent Tryout Process

Existing Tonka United players receive many opportunities to be observed and evaluated over time (Fall, Winter, Spring & Summer) to ensure that we select the most beneficial level of play for each player. In assessing a player’s ability we believe that it is vitally important to observe players over time in order to be fair to each player and to give our team selection process validity.
