We are so pumped to get into the season! Here are some answers to questions we have gotten from all of you so far. How long is the season?
The season is about a month long. We play 10 games and try to qualify for regionals at the end of October. This year, the regional tournament will be in Chesterfield, NJ on October 22-23. What do tryouts look like? Our tryouts take place over two days, with a round of cuts made after each day. Anyone is welcome to tryout, regardless of skill level. We typically have about 30 people try out for about 8 spots, but the numbers vary each year depending on the team's needs. When are tryouts? Tryouts are held over Labor Day weekend. This year tryouts are on Saturday, September 3rd and Monday, September 5th from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm. We are still waiting on a time confirmation for Saturday, so keep an eye out for more updates. How often are practices? We practice twice a week on the Vern, but we are still finalizing the days. Last year we practiced 5:30-dark every Thursday and alternated Monday and Tuesday each week (Mon-Thurs then Tues-Thurs, etc.). Will I miss any classes for games? What happens if I have a class during practice time? No! All of our games are on Saturdays and Sundays this year. Practices may overlap with players' classes but players can arrive late and/or leave early according to their schedules. As long as players are open with their communication, occasionally missing practices is not a problem. Are there any costs associated with playing club soccer? Yes, we have annual dues which are usually $150 per player. Players can choose to pay this all at once or enroll in a payment plan throughout the year. Dues go toward paying referees, team activities, merchandise, etc . Do we play year-round? Are there spring tryouts? Our main season is in the fall, but we do continue to practice, join small-sided outdoor and indoor tournaments, and play friendlies in the spring. There are no official spring tryouts, but we do host open practices where anyone can join in. Are graduate students allowed to play? Graduate students are allowed to play! The only requirement is that you must be taking at least 6 credits to participate. If there are any other questions, please don't hesitate to reach out via email. There is also a space for questions on our interest form. We will answer more questions here as we get them.
