How Do Players Join Arkansas Comets FC Through Evaluations and Placements?

Updated

Arkansas Comets FC brings new players in through its Evaluations & Placements process, and the club's site currently lists registration for the 2026–2027 cycle open to boys and girls ages U6 through U19. To join, a family registers for that evaluation/placement window, then uses the club's Tryouts page as the central hub for the details they need. The site does not publish evaluation dates, fees, or the exact steps after registration, so those specifics have to come from the club directly.

What the club says about joining

The Comets describe themselves as Northwest Arkansas's soccer club, established in 1993, with a focus on maximizing each player's potential. The homepage highlights:

  • 2026–2027 Evaluations & Placements — "Register Here," for boys and girls U6–U19
  • 750+ active youth players
  • Over 300 college athletes trained
  • A Tryouts section billed as a "one stop shop for all the information you need"

That last point matters: the homepage is the entry point, but the Tryouts page is where the club intends families to find the working details of the process.

Step by step

  1. Confirm your child's age group. The published range is U6 through U19, for both boys and girls. If your child is younger than U6 or older than U19, the site gives no pathway — contact the club before doing anything else.
  2. Register for Evaluations & Placements. Use the "Register Here" link tied to the 2026–2027 cycle on the homepage. This is the only registration route the site names.
  3. Go to the Tryouts page for the details. The club labels it the single source for tryout information. Expect scheduling and logistics to live there rather than on the homepage.
  4. Check Schedules for what follows. The site links to "all AR Comet Schedules," which is where team and session schedules are posted once players are placed.
  5. Watch Latest News for updates. The club says this is "the spot for all the latest and greatest club info," so cycle announcements and changes are likely to appear there.

How you know it worked: you've completed the registration form for the 2026–2027 evaluation window, and you can find the corresponding tryout details on the Tryouts page. The site does not state a confirmation email, a registration fee, or an account/login requirement, so don't assume any of those.

What the site does not answer

The homepage and the material available give no information on:

  • Evaluation dates, locations, or times
  • Cost of evaluations, placements, or club membership
  • What players should bring or wear
  • Whether any prior experience is required
  • Results timelines or how placement decisions are communicated

Because none of this is published, treat the registration link and the Tryouts page as starting points, not a complete guide. Families should plan to ask the club directly about dates and cost before committing to a season.

Beyond joining: what the club offers

The site's navigation shows the wider structure a new family is joining:

Section What it covers
Coaches The Comets coaching team
Tryouts All tryout information in one place
Schedules Links to all AR Comet schedules
Leagues Information on the club's leagues
Alumni Past Comets players
Sponsors Sponsorship opportunities for community support
Capelli Gear Club soccer gear
Latest News Club announcements and updates

The sponsorship section is framed around community support — "Kids are in need of sponsors!" — which is useful context if your family or business wants to contribute rather than play.

A realistic example

Say your daughter is 9 and has played recreational soccer for two years. You'd check that she falls inside U6–U19 (she does), register through the 2026–2027 Evaluations & Placements link, then read the Tryouts page for the session schedule. You'd also check Latest News in case the cycle details have been updated. What you won't find on the site is what the evaluation costs or what happens on the day — those are the questions to put to the club before registering.

Bottom line

Joining Arkansas Comets FC runs through one published route: register for the 2026–2027 Evaluations & Placements for boys or girls U6–U19, then use the Tryouts page for the specifics. The site confirms the age range and the registration entry point but leaves dates, cost, and post-registration steps to the club — so verify those directly before your child attends.
