About UNITED Program

The Corte Madera, Mill Valley, and Tiburon Peninsula Soccer Clubs are thrilled to announce the expansion of our United program for competitive youth players aged U13 and up (born 2011 and earlier) in the fall of 2023!!  By uniting our clubs’ programming, we aim to create more dynamic and well-matched teams in the older age groups, where larger rosters (11v11) and reduced participation are common.

Join us for unified tryouts during the NorCal Tryout Window (mid-May to early June), where we'll form United teams with players of similar abilities. Our goal is to provide a rewarding competitive experience for all suitable players. The number of teams formed for each birth year and gender will depend on the player pool.

Hosted by the individual clubs but playing under the “United” name, teams may practice and play across our three club locations, with practice schedules designed to accommodate school hours and transit times.

Get ready for an incredible soccer season with the expanded United program, as our clubs work together to offer elite coaching and exceptional playing opportunities for our competitive soccer players, with increased year-round flexibility for multi-sport athletes!

 

Parent testimonials from the Fall 2022 Pilot season:

“Worked great. Excellent coaching, larger and more dedicated player pool, nice socially to branch out to other towns.”

“(the coach and program) … brought several girls back to soccer (partly as prep for high school) and more importantly brought them back to really enjoying to play again”

“keeping quality soccer here in Marin is amazing and really appreciated for working parents with multiple children”

“It is very nice to have an option for girls who want to play multiple sports throughout the year, but want to have a highly competitive soccer season that only lasts for one season. Thank you!”

“The United Program was a godsend, and reignited my son's passion for soccer again!”

 

CMFC, MVSC and TPSC will be offering a virtual informational presentation along with Q & A for parents of 2005-2011 players interested in learning more about our United program.

FAQ's

Q:  When and where will United team tryouts be held for the 2023/2024 season?

Tryouts will take place in the late spring, in accordance with NorCal’s tryout window.   United tryouts will be held in Corte Madera, Mill Valley, and/or Tiburon. Players should plan to attend as many tryouts as they are able.


Q:  When will United team coaches be announced?

United team coaches will be announced in advance of tryouts.


Q:  Where will United teams practice and play games?

Players accepting roster spots on United teams should be prepared to practice and play games in Corte Madera, Mill Valley and/or Tiburon.


Q:  How many teams will be formed for each cohort?

Our aim is to provide a competitive team opportunity for as many ability-appropriate players as possible.  Final decisions on the number of teams formed will be based upon the depth and quality of the player pool at tryouts.


Q:  How many players will be selected for each team?

Our coaching staff and Directors of Coaching (DOCs) will make these decisions based on the player pools.  Typically, teams that play 11 v 11 carry rosters between 14 and 20 players.


Q:  Will there be a team for every birth year (e.g., 2009, 2008, 2007, etc.)?

Our intention is to form birth year teams for boys and girls.  For some age groups, teams may be made up of players from more than one birth year, depending upon the depth and quality of the player pool.


Q:  How will player selections be made at tryouts?

Team coaches and tryout evaluators will determine rosters.  The three clubs shall have professional coach representation at all tryouts, and input in final roster selections.  DOCs will sign off on final rosters.  In the event of a disagreement on final roster selections, a minimum of 2/3rds of DOCs shall agree on a final outcome.


Q:  How do players register for tryouts?

Each club will have an online tryout registration.  Players are encouraged to register with their home club from last season, and new players are welcome to register for tryouts with any club.  The clubs will work together to form a combined tryout list prior to tryouts.


Q:  What is the cost to play on a United team?

We anticipate the cost to be similar to that of other competitive teams with a similar length of season.  For United teams in 2023, we anticipate the registration fees and full season costs to be between $1,400 - $2,200.


Q:  Will the United program offer need-based financial assistance?

All three clubs currently offer need-based financial aid.  The United program will do the same.


Q:  What is the length of the season?

There may be optional training in the summer (depending upon player availability).  The official season will begin in early August, and it will end by mid-December.  High school aged teams will finish their season by the start of high school tryouts (early November).


Q:  Will the United players have opportunities to play and develop in the winter and spring?

Our United program will provide optional training and game opportunities in the winter and spring.  By combining our player pools into one program, it will be much easier for our clubs to provide winter and spring opportunities for our players who want to play year-round.

Q: Will there be movement of players from one roster to another?
United has a player placement model that strives to find the best training and playing fit for each player. We recognize that players develop at different rates, and the two-three months between tryouts and our teams’ first games can bring significant changes in a player’s soccer ability, physical growth, commitment and/or desire. We also recognize, from years of experience, that an inappropriate team assignment can lead to an unsatisfactory season for the player.
As such, United has a policy of continued player assessment after tryouts. Initial team placement shall take place in May or June. Our Team Coaches will continue to assess the team placement of players up until the end of August, to identify and possibly reassign those players that would be better served on a different team during the course of the season. Player movement decisions are made by our Coaching staff and DOCs.
