MEMBERSHIP CATEGORIES:

To apply for membership in US Club Soccer, complete the New Member Application.  For more information on the criteria for each membership category, see the Membership Information Web page.

Club and Academy Members:
Complete the entire application, including the initial registration fee deposit.

League Team:
If you're applying as a league team, select the league from the drop-down list. Note this application is only for the purpose of registering your players and staff. You may need to apply to the league separately for membership. 

Rec Program:
If you want to register a rec program, after discussing your plans with our staff, you should still register online, and at that point we can forward you a league application.

State Cup Team:
If you’re currently a non-member and intend on playing in a US Club Soccer state cup, apply by selecting the appropriate state cup on the drop down list.

Sanctioned Tournament Team:
If you’re currently a non-member playing in a US Club Soccer-sanctioned tournament other than a state cup, and you need US Club Soccer insurance or player cards, select the appropriate tournament from the tournament drop-down list, and complete and submit the application.  Note this is also not available for the National Cup, which is only open to regular US Club Soccer members. [Tournament Team Information]

League Sanctioning:
Leagues that are applying for sanctioning should complete a League Application.

COMPLETING THE APPLICATION:

After you’ve selected the applicable membership category, complete the rest of the application, including the club information at the bottom.

The application asks for information on your registrar, president, and director of coaching. You may check the appropriate box if some of these positions are filled by the same individual.

When completed, click on the submit button. Do not click this button unless you intend to apply, and then complete the payment screen, if prompted to do so.

If you’re applying as a club or academy, you will then be asked to provide information and pay your membership deposit by credit card.   If you’re applying as a league, state cup, or tournament team, you will not make a deposit now, but pay registration fees when you request cards.  Your application is complete when you click on submit. A password will be sent to you when your membership is approved.

INITIAL FEE DEPOSIT:

New clubs and academies pay a non-refundable $1,000 deposit towards their registration fees at the time the application is submitted.  These are not membership dues. Rather this amount will be credited towards player and staff registration fees until the funds are entirely used, after which you will continue to pay for cards with a credit card only as they are requested. Please note that:

• In the unlikely event that your membership application is not accepted, the deposit will be credited back to your card.
  
  
• You can use the same credit card, or provide a different one, when you request cards later.
  
  
• If for some reason your credit card is rejected, you will receive an e-mail, and will need to re-submit the application with a new card.
  
  
• When your application is accepted, you will receive an e-mail from us with your password to access the members-only Web site, where you will find detailed information on how to register your players and staff, tournament sanctioning, etc.
  
  
• The initial deposit is intended to represent the maximum amount likely to be necessary to register your first three teams or fifty academy players, plus staff (the minimum annual number required for membership). The funds will remain on deposit until you need the cards. As it represents your first year’s membership obligation, any balance will not be returned should you withdraw from membership.
  
  
• In special circumstances, if approved to do so, clubs may make a cash deposit for future registration payments, after the initial $1,000 deposit.

If you have any questions about the membership application and fee deposit, please contact your respective membership services representative.
