TRAINING CAMPS

To avoid tryout fatigue, the USNT does not host open tryouts in every region each season.

Training Camps are three to four hours in length. Athletes planning to attend are required to pay a registration fee unless they have already been placed on the USNT standing roster or in the USNTDA. The current registration fee is $25. For non-USQ members, it is $35. These fees go toward the cost of tryouts and USNT fundraising.

In addition to attendance at open training camps, play throughout the USQ and MLQ seasons, public persona and disciplinary history are taken into consideration. Anonymous scouts from across the US have been selected by the head coach to observe prospects. They periodically provide the USNT head coach with their feedback, which is used to make roster decisions.

Closed training camps are held twice a year, at minimum, for the existing standing team roster. The exact dates and times are determined based on the American quadball calendar, however, the following are potential time periods:

• The week prior to IQA World Cup or the Continental Games

• A weekend in December/January

• Sundays following major, recurring regular-season tournaments such as USQ Winter Classic, the USQ Oktoberfest Invitational, etc.

Training camps will be listed under USQ events.
