HORACE MANN SOCCER COMPLEX
Select Teams are formed annually through a tryout process led by the LUFC DOC and licensed coaches during the month of June. Tryouts will be conducted by age group over 3 consecutive days. Players are encouraged to attend as many days as possible for the most complete and accurate assessment.
All players are required to register for tryouts to be considered for placement on a Select team.
$25/player for online registration, or $35/player for in person registration. Price includes tryout shirt.
Players new to the LUFC Select Program must bring an original copy of their birth certificate to the first day of tryouts.
Arrive at least 20 minutes early on the first day of tryouts and check in at the Concession Stand.

Age groups
The Academy and Select Programs are governed by US Soccer's age group classification. Age groups are determined by birth year. Your "U" age group is determined by a simple formula: Year Season Ends – Birth Year = Age Group For example: 2022-23 (Season) – 2008 (Birth Year) = U15 (Age Group) Clubs, teams, and players are allowed to play in a higher age group (i.e. - a U13 player may compete on a U14 team) but cannot compete in a lower age group (i.e. - a U13 player cannot compete on a U12 team). All players are expected to tryout within their birth year and cannot "play-up" without permission from LUFC's Director of Coaching. Please see the Birth Year Age Group Chart for reference.
Players should arrive with proper attire, including soccer shoes and shin gaurds (tryout shirt will be provided) and plenty of water.
It is strongly encouraged, but players are sometimes unable to avoid missing. Players must attend a minimum of one night to be considered for a Navy (top team) offer. All players missing a night must notify the DOC, Jonathan Greenfield, prior to tryouts via email at patjon5@yahoo.com.
All players unable to attend due to vacation or other excused activity are still required to register for tryouts. After registering, players must contact the LUFC DOC, Jonathan Greenfield, at patjon5@yahoo.com to schedule a player evaluation.
Although not a common practice based on LUFC player development philosophy, there are cases where players may choose to tryout for an older age group. Interested players need to do 2 things: 1. Meet with the LUFC DOC, Jonathan Greenfield, prior to trying out2. Register for both tryouts (current age group + older age group)
LUFC encourages our players to play for their respective high school teams. For high school players, our club soccer season runs opposite of the WIAA high school season. Boys will play high school soccer in the fall, and LUFC Select soccer in the spring. Girls will play LUFC Select soccer in the fall, and WIAA high school soccer in the spring. High school boys and girls MUST try out in June to be considered for a Select team.
Your select soccer journey starts here! Come show us everything you have been working on.
