Announcements

Additional Tryout/Evaluation Information

• All players are required to attend two dates, minimum. Please contact appropriate Director (see below) to reserve your dates.
• Please arrive early for tryout days to fill out necessary forms. Check in will begin 1 hour prior to your player’s session. Please take advantage of this early check in, especially for your first session.
• Players will be issued a number for the entire tryout period. Please hand number in at the end of each session. This number must be worn for each session the player attends. It is this number which will track the player from evaluation, and ultimately roster posting.
• Players must tryout within their age group. You can request to play up in age but their is no guarantee that we can make this happen.

U9-U12 Tryouts/Evaluations/Player Placement

Due to the high level of play at tryouts and other developmental concerns we have decided to place every U9-U12 player into either a U10 or U12 player pool at this time. This will allow us to make better decisions through the summer with player/team selection. This will also allow players to develop further through the summer and be evaluated again once the season begins.

It is the intention for training to place at these times:
U9/10 - 5:30PM-7:00PM, Tuesdays and Thursdays, Skills training on Mondays 7:00PM-8:00PM
U11/12 - 5:30PM-7:00PM, Monday and Wednesdays, Skills training Thursdays 7:00PM-8:00PM

Unfortunately we are unable to provide any additional information at this time but will be able to give you more concrete information after our annual meeting, this coming Monday, May 19th @ Pierpont Baptist Church on Hwy 61, near the old Piggly Wiggly, 7PM.

It is the aim of CUSC to provide an affordable, competitive, developmental soccer program, at every level. Providing such services at an affordable rate is proving to be somewhat challenging. If interested in playing with CUSC your attendance is not only appreciated but requested at the annual meeting, where we will discuss the club budget and goals that are in front of us for the upcoming year:

Monday 19th @ Pierpont Baptist Church on Hwy 61, near the old Piggly Wiggly, 7PM.
