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.

Please wear black for tryouts!

As for Fall 2024 Tryouts, here is all the information you will need to know (PLEASE READ IN FULL):

1. There will be 3-4 days of tryouts (August 28th 7:30-10pm, August 29th 7:30-10pm, and August 30th 7:30-10pm)  Each player will be given at least ONE day of tryouts.  First round cuts will be made after your first tryout date allowing the coaching staff to slim down the pool of players.  The first cut will not be very harsh, but will be able to quickly weed out those not fit or not up to the technical ability that is desired/needed for UMBC Men's Club Soccer.  {Example: Player 1 can only make August 30th, that will be their first tryout date and afterwards will find out if they move on. Example 2: Player 2 can make August 28th, they will find out afterwards if they made it to day 2 which is August 29th. (If there are any questions about this please email our coach at award8@umbc.edu)}
2. Tryouts will cost $10 per person! This price is only paid ONCE, on the first day of your tryout.  It is not an on going cost for each tryout you attend, only paid once! (Via cash, venmo, cashapp, or zelle)
3. To make the team you are required to make at least one of the tryout dates which can be found on our instagram along with the "Events" tab on the promotional website here.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. WARNING: This is a real investment when it comes to time and dedication.  We train three times a week on Monday/Wednesday from 7-8:30pm and Fridays from 7-9pm.  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 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 August 28th at 7pm!! 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 Fall 2024 Semester and hope to see everyone in a couple weeks.
