How much does it cost to Tryout?

Do I need to bring my players birth certificate?

Yes, this is a USYSA Rule (Rule 204. PROOF OF AGE). 

New Players to the Select Program must bring an original copy of their birth certificate to the first day of tryouts. This is to validate proof of age. 

Effective 6/3/24 storage of sensitive data, such as Birth Certificates will be automatically removed from our system if provided longer than 180 days ago.

This change was not a decision made by MFC, but instead by the operating system to safeguard and enhance security. 

What should I bring to tryouts?                                                             

Players should arrive15 minutes in advance with proper attire, including soccer cleats, shin guards, and plenty of water.

Does my player have to attend every night of tryouts?                                                 

It is strongly encouraged, but players are sometimes unable to avoid missing. All players missing a night must notify the Club President beforehand.

What age group is my player?                                                         

The Academy and Select Programs are governed by US Soccer's age group classification. Age groups are determined by birth year.  Your "U" age group is determined by a simple formula:

Year Season Ends – Birth Year = Age Group

For Example: 2025-26 (Season) – 2011 (Birth Year) = U15 (Age Group)

Please see the USYS Age Chart for easy reference.

Can my player play up an age group?

There are cases where players may either play/tryout for an older age group.

What if my player wants to play high school soccer?

MFC encourages our players to play for their respective high school teams. For high school players, our club soccer season runs opposite of the WIAA high school season.

Boys will play high school soccer in the fall, and MFC Select soccer in the spring.

Girls will play MFC Select soccer in the fall, and WIAA high school soccer in the spring.
                        
High school boys and girls MUST tryout in June to be considered for a Select team.
