Founders FC, a competitive youth travel soccer Club in Southern Maryland is hosting player ID / tryouts for the 2026-2027 Soccer season. All interested players (including returning players) MUST register.

 

**PLEASE NOTE** Since we are a growing Club in the SOMD area, we may not be able to fill teams at all age levels depending on turnout/need and available coaching staff. However, we intend to hold full tryouts with the intent to fill teams across all planned age range and gender groups. Our tryouts will consist of general tryout sessions and/or focused team sessions prior to any offer for a roster spot. We are looking for additional coaches that may be interested in developing, mentoring, and leading our young talented athletes at Founders FC. Please provide our contact information to anyone you know that may be interested. We can be reached at [email protected], online at www.FoundersFC.org, or on Facebook.

 

Our mission is to develop young athletes into skilled and confident soccer players while instilling values of sportsmanship, teamwork, and leadership. We aim to create a positive and competitive environment where our young athletes can thrive. Through quality coaching, dedication, mentorship, and a commitment to player development, we strive to inspire a lifelong passion for soccer and foster the next generation of young athletes.

 

Our youth soccer programs offer competitive travel (Elite Development Program - EDP), academy, and tournament opportunities to play. We focus on building a cohesive and competitive team through regular training sessions, agility/endurance training, and scrimmage/game opportunities throughout the season. Here are some basic highlights of our program. You can find out more about our Program(s) at www.FoundersFC.org.

 

Our fee structure is simplistic in nature. At Founders FC, we leverage our non-profit organization, Founders Athletics, to lower athletics fees wherever possible. The overhead to run a youth soccer club is not insignificant. However, our organization doesn’t pad our fee structure and we take pride in being transparent. Our non-profit directors, admins, and coaches are all volunteer members of our local community and are not paid. You can find out more about how our Player Fees are broken down at www.FoundersFC.org.

 

If your player is selected and offered a slot on one of our teams, you will receive an offer letter that provides additional details. Since our mission, first and foremost, is to promote youth athletics development within our community, we have established and made resources available to those players and their families who may need monetary support to participate. These scholarships are provided on a need basis and require substantiation before award. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if this situation applies to your athlete and family.
