Join BFC

TRYOUT INFORMATION

Annual Tryouts

Held in April/May, this is the primary way to join a BFC team. During these tryouts, our teams fill the bulk of roster spots for the coming soccer year. Information and sign up for Annual Tryouts is posted in March of each year.

Supplemental Tryouts

Outside of Annual Tryouts, you can CONTACT US to inquire about space on a team. In your message, please tell us if this is a supplemental tryout for a girl or boy, plus your child’s date of birth. This will help us contact the correct coaches.

Club Commitment

There are other soccer clubs in the region for your family to consider. We are honored that you are considering BFC. Each program has their strengths and weaknesses; it isn’t about picking the ‘better’ program, but the one that aligns most with your family values and that provides the opportunities that you and your player are looking for. We feel strongly that we are offering our Ballerz an incredible program and will provide an environment for your player to grow, mature and reach their full potential.

Club Investment

It is important to us that we offer BFC families a comprehensive player package with full transparency of the financial commitment. All of those extra fees and expenses add up. We do not want hidden costs to stand in the way of our players getting what they need to be successful. To that end, we have 2 fees: your annual club fee & your uniform fee.

We offer regular, professional training for the duration of your team schedule. All your training needs are provided in-house. You will not be asked to write a separate check for coach fees- It is our job to make sure our coaches are happy and well compensated for their investment of time and effort into their team(s). Our Ballerz deserve the best and our goal is to provide the most comprehensive support for our coaching staff.
