IMPORTANT REGISTRATION INFORMATION

This tryout/pre-registration process is intended to help us gauge interest and begin planning for the upcoming seasonal year. Completing the form does not guarantee placement on a team and is non-binding.

Formal team invitations and final registration details will be sent out on or before July 15th, 2026. Final registration acceptance at that stage will serve as the binding commitment for the season.

FALL SOCCER vs. WINTER/SPRING SOCCER

Ages U8–U12

Players at the U8–U12 level may register for:

• Fall Only

• Spring Only

• Year Round

While families may choose the option that best fits their schedule, we ask players to indicate their interest in all seasons now as part of the tryout/registration process. Indoor training space during the winter months is extremely limited and must be reserved well in advance during the summer. Having an accurate sense of player interest helps us properly plan teams, staffing, and training space for the year.

Ages U13–U14

Due to middle school and high school soccer commitments, we do not offer regular fall training programming at the U13–U14 age groups. Most players participate with their school or town teams during the fall season, and we fully encourage players to take pride in and enjoy those experiences.

Depending on interest and scheduling, there may be optional opportunities for fall games on select Sundays, but this is not considered part of our regular programming.

Players in these age groups should register for our Winter/Spring programming only.

---

Ages U15–U19

Our U15–U19 programming begins after the conclusion of the high school soccer season, typically starting with futsal and winter training in November. However, players should still register and participate in tryouts during the summer/fall registration period, as roster spots are limited and new players may join the club.

Because indoor facilities must be reserved well in advance, it is important for us to project team numbers early in the year. Players in these age groups register for Winter/Spring programming only.

A COUPLE NOTES ON REGISTRATION

• Players at the U8–U10 age groups do not need to formally try out. We will accept all interested players and place them appropriately based on playing level and developmental needs. Placement evaluations may occur:

  • During the fall season after a few practices, or

  • During the winter before the spring season begins.

• Players at the U8 age group will not be tiered by ability. This level is designed to be introductory, play-based, and development-focused rather than results-oriented. Teams are generally formed based on age (U7 vs. U8), town, and balanced groupings. All interested U8 players will be accepted.

• Our open tryouts are available to players from all clubs and soccer backgrounds. We understand some players may be unavailable on the scheduled tryout date due to travel, camps, or other commitments. If a player cannot attend, we may use:

  • Prior evaluations or knowledge of the player (for current QC players),

  • Coach recommendations,

  • Previous playing experience, or

  • Additional evaluations at a later date.

• The age groups listed below reflect our current projected team offerings and may be subject to change based on registration numbers, coaching availability, and overall interest levels.
