The Nor’easters have held open tryouts prior to the start of each season. These tryouts represent the opportunity for previously undiscovered players in the South Jersey area to get the chance to join a highly competitive USL-2 team. Roster spots on the U-23 and reserve team are also available. 

Johnny Granese Jr., team General Manager, had this to say ahead of the upcoming tryouts, “We are looking forward to tryouts for the 2025 season. We are hoping to make another run at the Division title and looking to make a deep push into the playoffs. These tryouts will help us get a good starting point on putting the roster together for the 2025 season”.

The Nor’easters are one of the most successful teams in North America, not only on the field but also as a hub of player development. In addition to a stellar record of results, Ocean City has had over 120 players go on to play at the professional level, including 34 MLS SuperDraft Picks. Their commitment to excellence has made the club one of the clearest pathways into both the collegiate system and the professional game for young athletes.
