FC WISCONSIN TRYOUT INFORMATION FOR 2024-2025
FC Wisconsin offers players the opportunity and platform to play at the highest levels of national competition within U.S. Club Soccer, the Boys ECNL, and USYS. FC Wisconsin prides itself on being a long-term, athlete development, driven club with an emphasis on providing a pathway for players to play collegiate soccer. FC Wisconsin has recently been named as one of the Top 100 Boys Soccer clubs in the United States. This is an exceptional achievement for the club testament to our commitment to providing a true development pathway for all players across all programs. This represents the only time a boys club from Wisconsin has been honored with this accolade.
FC Wisconsin is the state's leading development club for future collegiate players. This year alone, the club has over 60 college commitments under the FC Wisconsin curriculum. Thirteen players over the past few years have been called into the prestigious U.S. Club Soccer’s id2 Program, as well as one player being called onto the id2 U.S. National Team that traveled to and played in Spain.
With an average coach to player ratio of 1:5 at every training session and game, there is no club environment better to help develop, and teach the game than FC Wisconsin.
FC Wisconsin is proud to be the only club in Wisconsin that competes in the Boys ECNL. The ECNL provides players with the platform to compete against the best clubs in the country while offering college exposure at the most professional showcases utilizing the best facilities that the U.S. has to offer.
FC Wisconsin is also the only club in Wisconsin that is granted a Players First license. Being a Players First licensed club is a commitment to establishing and maintaining the best environment for the players and families within a club. Players first is built on a foundation of five pillars: Club Development, Coach & Development, Player Development, Parent Engagement & Education, and Player Health & Safety.
The club will have multiple levels of competition and player pools to best suit all players and their stage of development. In addition to ECNL, teams will compete in the MRL, State League, and national showcases.
