GENERAL REGISTRATION INFORMATION & WHAT TO BRING
- Charlottesville Blues FC is the only USL Men’s and Women’s professional franchise in Central Virginia offering USL 2, USL W, USL / PRO23, and Academy U20 player identification.
- Charlottesville Blues FC has a very specific, vertically integrated Player Development Pathway, from Youth to Pro. A player selected for a team will start with that team. The coaching staff reserves the right to transfer the player to another team within the Blues pathway, based on various factors, with performance being the primary consideration.
- All players must register before the tryouts. Note: A player must register again for USL Academy U20 if they have already registered for USL W or USL 2.
- Check-in will begin 30 minutes before the start of each tryout. Check-in will take place at the Stadium concession stand (look for the large Charlottesville Blues FC flag) located near the Stadium Turf field. Tryouts will start on time. If you are late, it will be noted.
- All players participating in the tryouts will receive a Charlottesville Blues FC tryout sticker number to place on the bottom left of their shorts. Players must wear this number for each tryout and ensure it is visible.
- Players must bring an inflated soccer ball, wear shin guards, wear a grey shirt, dark shorts, dark socks, and bring a water bottle (water jugs will be available on-site). Goalkeepers must bring goalkeeper gloves. Please double-check the weather and plan accordingly.
- Certified Athletic Trainers and Medical personnel will be on site.
- Charlottesville Blues FC Coaching Staff reserves the right to scout players into the program without a tryout. However, it is strongly recommended that all players attend tryouts. If a player can’t participate in a tryout, please contact bkuk@charlottesvillebluesfc.com.
- Players are responsible for all travel-related reservations and fees.
