* The Santa Cruz Breakers has been supportive of high school soccer for many years. Many Breakers coaches have been and are currently coaching in high schools around the county. While Breakers tryouts are scheduled towards the end of the high school season, participation in tryouts does not conflict or jeopardize a player's high school eligibility. During the high school season, the only day that a high school player is allowed to train with a team outside their HS team is on Sunday. Breakers tryouts will have small sided games up to 5v5 with no referees to stay in line with the CIF rules. Players that are done with their high school season before the tryouts need not worry about the information mentioned above. If a player is still in season (playoffs), they can technically participate in a club tryouts within the parameters mentioned above. For more information about high school eligibility rules, please visit the following website: www.cifstate.org
Tryouts will be held rain or shine. Please arrive 30 minutes prior to tryout times for registration. You also can pre-register online beginning in December.

Interpretation of CIF Bylaw Rules 511 and 600
Disclaimer: The following interpretation is just that, an interpretation. You are responsible for reading the applicable CIF bylaws in their entirety in order to determine how they apply to your team. “Outside” Soccer teams must complete their season prior to the first interscholastic contest (see rule 511).
An interscholastic contest is a game or scrimmage. The Central Coast Section of CIF determines when the first interscholastic contest will be. Please check with your High School’s Athletic Director. Eligible high school soccer players may participate with an “Outside” soccer team for purposes of participating in winter indoor soccer or futsal during the winter high school CIF soccer season. (See Rules 511 and 600A).
Eligible high school soccer players may participate with an “Outside” Soccer Team, who is participating in a soccer tournament, as long as the tournament does not exceed 5 v 5. 6 v 6 or more would violate Rule 600A during the winter High School CIF soccer season.

OUTSIDE COMPETITION 600. COMPETITION ON AN OUTSIDE TEAM
A student on a high school team becomes ineligible if the student competes in a contest on an “outside” team, in the same sport, during the student’s high school season of sport (See Bylaw 511). The following exceptions apply:
For purposes of this rule, touch football and flag football are considered to be a different sport than tackle football.
In the sport of soccer, Bylaw 600 shall be in effect only during the winter high school soccer season. High school soccer programs that compete during the fall or spring season are not subject to Bylaw 600.
Swimmers may compete for an amateur team during the season of sport in the USA Swimming Senior National Championship Meet, the USA Swimming Sectional Championship meets and the YMCA National Meet. Divers may compete for an amateur team during the season of sport in the USA National Diving Championships and the USA National Junior Diving Championships.
It is permissible for a high school team member to participate in a spontaneous recreational activity or game in which sides or teams are chosen without regard to players representing any group or organization. Such participation would not cause loss of eligibility. (Definition of spontaneous: no prior planning or notice; an unplanned part of another activity which has a primary focus other than the sport.).
(1) An unattached athlete shall not represent any team. Points won by the athlete shall not be credited to any team. An unattached athlete shall not use a uniform which identifies a school or “outside” team. Any violation shall be considered an infraction of Bylaw 600.
(2) Unattached competition is permissible for a student in other than school contests during the season of sport provided the student enters in the individual sports of badminton (singles and doubles), cross country, golf, gymnastics, skiing, swimming and diving (including unattached entry on relays), tennis (singles and doubles), track and field (including unattached entry on relays) and wrestling.
