GENERAL INFORMATION
Charlottesville Blues FC’s coaching staff will assess all players participating in the tryouts. This presents aspiring players with a golden opportunity to catch the coaches’ eye and potentially secure a roster spot within the newest franchise in the USL 2 and USL W PATH2PRO leagues.
Prospective participants should arrive at Charlottesville High School fully prepared to demonstrate their technical skills, tactical understanding, and overall soccer abilities. We strongly recommend that all players warm up independently before the coaching staff begins the tryouts.
Charlottesville Blues FC will create rosters of up to 40 players per team. For 2025, there will be a First and Second Team for men and women. Twenty-two players will be announced to the First Team Home matchday rosters (eighteen will dress for the match, with four participating within the team for experience). Eighteen players will be announced to the First Team Away matchday rosters. Players not selected to First Team matchday rosters will continue to train AND play in another league or other matches. This will allow all players to maintain matchday fitness and be prepared to play for the First team. After announcing Charlottesville Blues FC’s USL W and USL 2 rosters, more information will follow.
Head Coaches reserve the right to add players to the roster at any time. Charlottesville Blues FC will announce when rosters are full via email communications, social media, and www.CharlottesvilleBluesFC.com.
Parking. All players may park in the parking lot inside Charlottesville High School Stadium. However, if the lot is full, please find street parking or go over the bridge and into Charlottesville High School’s main parking lot. There will be plenty of space.
Inclement Weather. If the tryouts are postponed or canceled due to inclement weather, please check www.CharlottesvilleBluesFC.com and all Charlottesville Blues FC social media channels: Instagram, Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), and TikTok.
