With a few exceptions, where coaches need to hold additional tryouts, Butte United tryouts for our U10 through U14 teams are done. The Player Selection Committee and coaches are reviewing the evaluations and selecting their 2008 team. Please be patient as we go through this process.

Team Parent Committee
Butte United Coach Mike Hernandez has organized a newly-formed committee of Team Parents. This committe has been hard at work since January to organize the Butte United Tryouts, and in some cases, making great changes to the tryout check in. They created flyers and banners and blanketed our towns and schools with dates. It paid off as we had great turnout each of our tryout days. Thank you Coach Hernandez and each of the parents that volunteered their time to make this happen.
As the season progresses and teams are formed, each coach will hold an election to name the Elected Team Parent. This person will help Butte United Board communicate to the teams, sharing important information such as set up and take down expectations, volunteer needs, code of conduct and player expectations, and fund raiser needs. We look forward to this group of parents helping us create a successful 2008 season and bring news and needs to all of our families.
