WELCOME TO FC UNITED
Our approach this fall could experience some deviations from years past. Our team events will include some tournaments that have historically been on our calendar, yet the format may differ (ie. boys play on one day, girls play on the other day). One of the program objectives is to minimize travel, reduce overnight stays, and in essence support the potential financial needs of all families in light if the current economic climate. Some of the programming adjustments will also assist with providing balance for our families and players.
· There can be NO official in-person tryouts this year. Players must pre-register for placement onto an age-group or roster.
· NO TRYOUT FEE THIS YEAR $50 Deposit (non-refundable)
· All players must pre-register to be considered.
· New players are welcome to register.
· Pre-Registration will open Tuesday May 26
· On the system, the registration link will read “Tryout Fee”. This is a platform default as we will NOT have a Tryout Fee this year. Instead, you will be asked to pay a $50 down-payment that is applied toward your program total.

Phase 2 – SUMMER TRAINING - Intensive Individual Development Phase (the Return to Play is July 6th).
Phase 3 - Small Group Development Phase
Phase 4 - Team Development Phase
As we look ahead at Phase 2 this summer, this is a period where we will focus entirely on technical development and individual player assessment.

* All payment plans are subject to a mandatory service fee per payment for the selected plan ($5 /$6 /$7)
** All event and competition fees will be assessed on a team by team basis depending on events selected. All players on the team (selected to participate) will contribute equally to the competition fees and any fees associated with that event.
*** As a contingency plan, if at any given point the sessions have to go virtual due to any COVID restrictions, fees would be adjusted by 25% for the impacted month if it impacts at least 50% of the month. Should that occur, age groups would migrate to 1 tactical session, 1 technical session and 1 personal group session (2-4 players) per week.
Little Strikers (U5-U8):
All returning Little Strikers will receive a RETURNING PLAYER VOUCHER toward 100% of the Fall fee. The Little Striker format will be segmented into Fall ($100), Winter ($150) and Spring ($100) ‘seasons’.
· Although the fall fee will be waived for returning players, a $20 registration fee will be charged upon registering which will cover player supplemental insurance.
· If you register for more than one ‘season’ at once, you will receive a $10 discount per extra ‘season’.
· Families may opt to not use the voucher apply 100% of the voucher allocation to the club's financial assistance program. Thank you in advance for your consideration of this donation to that program.
