Birth Year & Season Matrix

When determining the age group for a season, the year the season ends should be used for determining the birth year. Also, note that the format “age followed by U” means that age and younger. For example, 8U means 8 and younger. For more age-group information please reference U.S. Soccer’s Player Development Initiatives.

New Uniform 2023

Cost

The required MCU kit includes: a white jersey, a black jersey, black team shorts, yellow socks and black socks. The kit is approximately $110.05 + tax and shipping (per player) during the Fall 2021 through Spring 2023 term. If the order is placed outside of the seasonal ordering period, the cost will increase and the order may not arrive prior to the first game/tournament for that season.

How To Order

All MCU families purchasing a uniform will receive an email from Stefans Soccer that will outline how to order the new uniform via Stefans Soccer online portal. Jerseys and shorts will be customized with a players number that is pre-assigned by the MC United uniform committee. Families can expect to receive this email in February/March for the Spring season and July/August for the Fall season.

 

All orders placed with Stefans Soccer will be delivered directly to the customer, we no longer have orders shipped in bulk. Please note that shipping charges may apply and all orders MUST still be placed within the 3-5 day ordering window for the order to be delivered before the start of games/tournaments for the corresponding season. If an order is placed after the ordering window ends, your player(s) may not receive their uniform in time and will not be able to participate in games or tournaments until they receive their uniform.

Player Numbers

Please note that player numbers are assigned in advance by our Uniform Committee. Because players on the same team cannot have the same number, we have initiated an assigned number system in order to ensure that players in the same age groups do not have duplicate numbers. We do not take special requests for jersey numbers and we do not allow siblings to share uniforms/jerseys.
