How would a player tryout or is it by invitation only?

Depends on the team, but I believe all clubs have an "open" tryout at some point in the Spring.

Baton Rouge United hasn't announced tryout dates but it will be early April from what I'm told. 

All of these clubs have websites, facebook and twitter accounts where they announce all of their info.

Zayne is only a junior. 🙄

Cole as well.

Northshore United àhas a website and FB page. They have an open tryout at Northlake Christian which is their home base.

Sure would like to see some home grown Louisiana boys on this list one day.

You've had the pleasure of assisting some of those to Danni Eyo. If he would have enrolled at Riverdale when Saad was there, they would have blown DII out of the water. He would have terrorized high school soccer.

CajunSC does not currently have any high school players on the rosters. We are hoping that will change in the coming weeks and possibly get some of these young guys some solid experience against some top notch competition

As a fan of soccer and a parent of a young player that has participated in the league, I’ve got to say it was an awesome experience. To see my son play with and against current and former collegiate players and others with even greater levels of experience, has been fun and beneficial for him. Along with the playing experience, I think this is as close as we get to a true club environment. Some clubs generate a lot of support so its more than just moms and dads coming to watch matches. I know our club does an awesome job promoting the matches and the league through local news and social media outlets, usually in a lite and entertaining format. Even if you don’t have anyone playing, go out and support your local teams. High quality soccer being played.
