Personal Evaluations Still Available
Just because you missed the formal tryout process, doesn't mean the door is closed!

Empire offers the opportunity for a personal evaluation all year long.  After the evaluation is complete our expert staff will provide a free consultation on a path forward that matches the aptitude of the player with the goals and objectives that player has.  Often times it is with Empire and opportunities to join teams exist in most age groups.
