Tryouts for the Belmont United Fall 2024 Season - will occur in May 2024. General tryout structure information is below, and look here for updates as we get closer.

Tryouts for the Belmont United Spring 2024 Season - are complete.

Tryouts for our 2024 Spring teams will be held on November 27th and 29th, for players born 2016 and older (*2017 players may try out for the 2016 age group, if you think they are emotionally and technically ready). This is for new players to the club only (current players do not need to tryout).

FAQ's about our club.
This will be an online pre-registration event only - there will be no on-field registration available on the day. Players will be assigned to a coach and a field prior to the tryout day and report to that field at the times shown below for each age group (arrive 10 minutes early so you are comfortable and ready to begin on time). This information will be sent the morning of the tryout day.

We will be hosting a pre-tryout Zoom a few days in advance (date/time tbd) to discuss the club, tryouts, the Spring season and any questions you may have. The link to the Zoom meeting will be emailed to all registered participants; the meeting will also be recorded and sent out afterwards to all registrants.

We will hold tryouts for players born 2016 and older. Players born 2017 and younger should register for our Junior Academy in Winter and/or Spring HERE.

Tryouts are held by age group; it is recommended that players attend both sessions when possible for a more accurate evaluation:

Club Tryouts

Club tryouts are held twice yearly:

- in May for all players, and
- in November for players not affiliated with another club.
     If you are new to competitive club soccer or have moved from outside the area and would like
     to join a team for the Spring season your child can be evaluated at our November tryout.

Tryout Information

It is recommended that a player attends both dates of our tryouts as the more times a player is evaluated the more accurate the evaluation will be. Our club uses tryouts to fill open roster spots on current teams and add new teams to the club as appropriate.

Current players do not need to attend the tryouts (certain teams/players may be asked by the DoC to help during the tryouts). Players should bring water, soccer cleats, shin guards (required) and a ball and arrive 15 minutes before the scheduled start time. Prior to the first tryout date there will be a Zoom orientation for parents. The orientation is for parents new to Belmont United and will cover tryout questions and general information about the season.

Typical Tryout Session

(Players grouped by age and gender)

00-10 mins Ball-based warm-up
10-35 mins 1v1 games and/or shooting games
35-60 mins Small-sided scrimmage

Decisions on selection and acceptance of players are made solely by the coaching staff and BUSC’s Director of Coaching. After evaluation, players may be assigned to a team that best fit the player's developmental growth or potential.
