REGISTER EARLY TO GET THE DISCOUNT - To help keep fees to all families as low as possible, the club is discounting the fall registration fees by about 20% off from what would have been the full registration fees. To do this, the club is using a combination of funds from donations of spring registration fees from parents*, sponsorships, prior year tournaments proceeds, and some of our savings. This is a one-time investment to help ease the burden for families during this upcoming year. The get this lowest fee, please register by July 12. State team players will pay in August once we know the status of fall tournaments; the 20% discount has been built into the state team registration fees. 

*Over 80 MC United families donated all or a portion of their spring 2020 registration fees to the club, resulting in total contributions of $11,000. Wow! Approximately 50% of these donated funds will be used to help fund the costs of player registrations scholarships in 2020-2021, as well to help with equipment for teams (game balls, for example), and for coaching support. Decisions about how the remaining donations will be used will made over the course of the year as we see what the needs are (for example, for gym time if we can be indoors this winter). THANK YOU to all who contributed.

A decision about whether a tryout will be held to add new players to these two teams will be made in early July. If a tryout is held, it will be Sunday, July 19 at 6:00 pm. To be put on the email list for a tryout announcement for U13G and U16G, please email fox.sharon@gmail.com 

We know you have options when choosing a competitive soccer club, so why choose MC United?

• Our club is home to students from across Marathon County and beyond including the Wausau, DC Everest, Newman, Marshfield, Stevens Point, Abbotsford, Medford, Eagle River and Minocqua area school districts 
• We offer girls and co-ed team options
• MC United provides scholarships to ensure everyone has the opportunity to play
• MC United is one of the only Clubs in the area to provide opportunities for play during both fall and spring seasons 
• Our teams attend three tournaments during the spring season (included in registration fees) and four tournaments during the fall season. All of the teams from our club participate in the same tournaments (except for the fourth fall tournament which is coach's choice), which helps to limit travel costs for families while allowing them to enjoy watching other MCU teams compete
• We offer diverse levels of play — competitive teams that play in the CWSL league as well as those that play in the State League*
• Our certified coaches are some of the best in the area
• MC United is host of the Mountain Bay Cup and MCU Fall Cup held annually in the fall and spring. The Mountain Bay Cup draws more than 100 teams from around the state to our area for a weekend of competitive soccer on some of the best fields in the state.

*High school players: MC United welcomes all players. However, it is recommended that players joining MC United for the first time as a high school player (freshman U15s through U18) have some prior experience playing in another competitive soccer club; WAYSA, Everest Youth Soccer, or another indoor or outdoor recreational soccer program; or have participated for a season in their school district’s middle or high school soccer program. Parents of high school players interested in joining MC United that have not had any prior soccer experience should contact Lance Kelly, MC United’s Director of Coaching, prior to registration. This will help ensure that parents and players that are brand new to soccer have information about general skill, agility, and fitness expectations prior to committing to participation.

Have fun and stay fit while we plan for a return to in-person trainings later this summer. 

Attached are two sets of 3-week soccer fitness and training workouts that Coach Melissa Kampmann has developed for MCU players and families.
