Logic and conditions blueprint

Exactly how this form behaves as it is answered — 4 conditional rules ship with it.

Features conditional validation: if “Is the athlete under 18?” is Yes, “Parent or guardian consent and signature” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
Features conditional validation: if “Any injury still restricting them?” is Yes, “What it is, and what they can and cannot do” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
Features conditional validation: if “Is a current physical or clearance on file?” is No, “Previous injuries” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
Features conditional validation: if “Do they need any adjustment to take part?” is Yes, “What would help” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
All 4 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.

About this template

A tryout is a selection event, not a registration, and the form should collect what a coach needs to run one. Where the athlete is under 18 it is completed by a parent or guardian. The first page covers the athlete, date of birth and age group, the tryout session they are attending, the position or event they are trying out for with a second choice, current and previous clubs, how long they have played, and their level. It asks about representative experience and any accolades, briefly, because coaches read those in seconds. The second page is what makes the day safe and workable: medical conditions and medication, whether a current physical or clearance is on file, previous injuries and anything still restricting them, allergies, emergency contact, whether they can be photographed, kit and equipment they will bring, whether they need any adjustment to take part, and consent from a parent or guardian. It also asks whether the athlete is trying out at other clubs, which coaches would rather know.

Set it up step by step

1
Ask for position and a second choice
Tryouts run better when a coach can move a player rather than lose them, and most athletes have a genuine second position.
2
Check clearance before the session
Knowing which athletes need to bring a physical avoids turning them away at the gate on the day.
3
Take two emergency numbers
One parent is on the touchline and the other is reachable. At a tryout you often need the second one.
4
Ask about other tryouts openly
Athletes trialling elsewhere are normal. Knowing it helps you make offers with realistic deadlines.

Mistakes to avoid

Using a season registration form for a tryout, which asks for fees and kit sizes before anyone is selected.
Leaving photography consent until photos are already posted.
Collecting no injury detail, then running a session that aggravates something a coach could have worked around.

What it pairs with

Most teams don't run this form on its own. These are the forms and systems it sits next to.

What to do with the responses

Confirm attendance with venue and kit details, check clearance where missing, run the session with the health notes to hand, and tell every athlete the outcome by the date you promised.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from team registration?

Registration follows selection and covers fees, kit and the season. This covers one selection event, so it stays focused on position, level and safety.

Who completes it for a young athlete?

A parent or guardian, since it includes health information and consent to take part.

Should unsuccessful athletes be told?

Always, and by the date you promised. Clubs lose more families to silence after a tryout than to a no.

Do we need a physical for a tryout?

That depends on your league and insurer. The form asks whether clearance is on file so you can decide before the session, not at it.

Is the Tryout Registration template free to use?

Yes. You can preview and test Tryout Registration on this page without an account, and take a copy into your own HelloForms workspace on the free plan. There is nothing to install and no card required to publish it.

What does the Tryout Registration template ask for?

It asks 32 questions across 2 pages, 25 of which are required. Every question is listed in full further down this page, and each one can be renamed, reordered, made optional or deleted after you copy the template.

Can I edit the Tryout Registration form after copying it?

Yes — the copy is entirely yours. Change wording, add or remove questions, switch between the classic layout, restyle it to match your brand, and set who gets notified on each submission.

Where do responses to the Tryout Registration form go?

Submissions land in your workspace under Submissions, where you can search, filter, label and export them to CSV or PDF. You can also email a notification to your team on every submission and send the respondent an auto-reply.

Can I embed the Tryout Registration form on my own website?

Yes. Publish the form and paste the embed snippet into any page or share the direct link. The embedded form resizes to fit its container and loads no advertising or marketing trackers inside the iframe.

Is the signature on this form legally usable?

The template captures a drawn signature and stores it with the submission, along with the timestamp, so you keep evidence of who agreed and when. Whether that is sufficient depends on your jurisdiction and the agreement itself.
