Hello to all again, and those that are new!!
Welcome to UMBC's promotional website where we can broadcast some important information to you all. Please be sure to follow our Instagram @umbcclubsoccer as that will stay more up to date than the promotional website. Our personal website will also be linked below so please take a look at that and it also holds our coach's email along with our President and VP's emails.
I hope everyone had a great winter break and holiday season!
Please wear black for tryouts!
As for Spring 2024 Tryouts, here is all the information you will need to know (PLEASE READ IN FULL):
- There will be 2 days of tryouts (February 20th and 22nd both from 8:00pm to 10:00pm). Each player will be given both days of tryouts. (If there are any questions about this please email our coach at award8@umbc.edu)
- Tryouts will cost $5 per person! This price is only paid ONCE, on the first day of your tryout. It is not an on going cost for each day you attend, only paid once once you arrive! (Via cash, Venmo, Cashapp, or Zelle)
- To make the team you are required to make at least one of the tryout dates which can be found on Instagram along with the "Events" tab on the promotional website here.
- Everyone will need water, cleats, socks, and running shoes. NO SLIDES or open toed shoes. If you're a goalie, please come prepared with everything you'd need to play a game.
- All tryouts will be about 2 hours on the Stadium turf (next to the Chesapeake Insurance Arena) and please come at least 30 minutes prior to the start time so that we can go over everything as a group and also check in those that are new.
- Make sure to keep your number if you make it to the next day as that will be the main way we can figure out who you are.
- If anyone has any personal questions or are still curious about some things, please contact our coach at award8@umbc.edu or check our website for more simple questions.
- WARNING: This is a real investment when it comes to time and dedication. We train three times a week on Tuesday/Thursday from 8-10pm and Fridays from 6-8pm. We also strongly support the D1 Men's Soccer team so those home games are strongly important to be in attendance. There are also a ton of matches over the weekends along with a couple virtual meetings. So a ton of potential playing time, but before considering trying out, please take these things into account and if you're hesitant due to these reasons or the training times, there is some flexibility and it is best to contact our coach through his email at award8@umbc.edu.
We hope to see everyone out on February 20th at 8pm!! This year will definitely have a lot to give to those who make the team. If you ever find any of previous UMBC Men's Club Soccer team members, never hesitate to ask how their experience was!!
Wish everyone a great Spring 2024 semester and hope to see everyone in a couple weeks.
