Tryouts are held at WCUSC Thornbury Soccer Park. Registration will begin 20 minutes prior to the start of tryouts. Click here to download the tryout registration form. There is a $10.00 tryout fee that is collected at the first tryout attended. Players should bring a soccer ball & drink, along with being dressed ready to play including cleats & shin-guards. All tryouts are open (a player does not have to reside in West Chester to be part of our program). Tryouts are run by our UEFA / NSCAA / USSF qualified coaching staff.
WCUSC appoints staff coaches for all our first teams. In each age group, we typically field 3 teams. Many of our second teams are coached by staff coaches, the majority of third teams are coached by the most qualified parent & receive training from our coaching staff based upon our travel programs coaching curriculum.
