Open tryouts. Every year. Every level.

Plenty of clubs act as gatekeepers. We don't. Spring tryouts run from the top down, so a player who misses the top team still has every other level ahead of them. The pro side holds open tryouts too.

How spring tryouts work

Supplemental skill acceleration

Elite Technique Academy (ETA).

One extra hour a week of pure ball mastery, technical agility and 1v1 confidence, designed to fit around team training for players from any club, at every level, including MLS NEXT and Girls Academy. About 250 CCFC players trained in ETA in 2025–26, including roughly 120 from MLS NEXT and the Girls Academy.

Up to 6,000 touches

Pure ball mastery.

High-repetition technical drills, rapid decision-making and 1v1 confidence under professional instruction.

Fridays 5:30–6:30 pm

Phillips Park.

High Point. More days are being added as demand grows, and current families get first access to new slots.

Any club, every level

Rec to MLS NEXT.

Players from any club train in the same hour as CCFC's Recreation, Juniors, Classic, Pre-MLS / Pre-GA, Girls Academy and MLS NEXT players, grouped by age and ability.
