At Etown United Soccer, we want everyone to play, so we decided to move away from “tryouts”. All players who love the game and want to play this great sport are welcome. We do believe players of similar ability, commitment, and passion should play together.
All players that know or are considering to play in the Fall 2022 should participate in this Day of Play. There will be warm-ups, a few fun drills, then small sided games. It will also be an opportunity to meet the coaches, meet your teammates, play lots of soccer. If you want your child considered for our 2022-2023 CPYSL teams, attendance is required. For any new or current players to the Club, parents can request their child be evaluated to help understand the best placement and different options for their child.
Please bring your normal practice attire and equipment (cleats, shin guards, ball, water bottle, etc.)
Pre-Registration preferred -
select CPYSL Travel, LARS Recreation or IM program
for the Fall 2022-2023 season
(If you are unsure of program placement, but would like your child to attend and participate in the Open Day of Play - please contact Etown United President or Kristi Ritter using the emails below)
Registration begins May 2nd
