RDA Tryouts

RDA City – 2025-2026 Tryouts

We are delighted to announce that we have opened up tryouts for the RDA City team model for the 2025-2026 season. The RDA City team model offers competitive teams from the U8 (2018) through the U18.19 (2008.2007) age groups on both the boys and girls side. The RDA City program is our main location and also offers a pathway for players who play on RDA teams in our satellite locations in Connellsville and North Huntingdon.

At each age group we have a differing level teams that compete in some of top leagues both Nationally and Regionally. Our highest-level teams compete in the Elite Clubs Nationals League (ECNL) and we are the only program in Pittsburgh that offers the ECNL Competitive platform.
