What ages and program levels does Ann Arbor United offer?Youth Academy serves young beginners roughly from preschool through early elementary ages with skill-based sessions. Travel soccer includes recreation travel and select travel in WSSL, plus premier travel in MSPSP and MRL. Recreation travel fits developing players; select and premier tiers expect higher training volume, licensed coaching at select and premier levels, and stronger travel. Futsal, camps, clinics, and Real Madrid Foundation clinics round out optional programming.
Where does the club train or play?Home league play for club teams is centered on Ann Arbor-area facilities, while away-trip length grows from roughly twenty-to-forty-minute drives for many recreation games up to statewide or occasional out-of-state travel for premier-side teams. The club maintains a broad field directory covering schools, parks, and regional complexes used by different age groups. Youth Academy session sites are confirmed each cycle when schedules post.
When are tryouts or registration?MSYSA requires competitive travel tryouts each June. Ann Arbor United combines that rule with try-in opportunities at existing team practices so coaches can evaluate newcomers in training. Supplemental openings may appear later—email info@aaunited.net or call +1 734-975-4257 for the birth year you need. Returning families typically register through GotSport by searching for Ann Arbor United and choosing the active tryout or team event.
What does Youth Academy or financial support cost?Youth Academy charges $95 per session, or $400 for all five sessions in a bundled cycle, saving $65 versus paying individually. Travel team costs depend on level, uniform requirements, and tournament plans; ask your team staff after placement for the exact budget. Financial support applications for fall and spring consideration are due June 20, with documentation emailed to financialsupport@aaunited.net, including a W2 or first tax-return page with the Social Security number removed.
What is the club’s mission or coaching philosophy?The club teaches soccer, pushes each player toward their best level, and invests in community through coaches, players, and families. Training balances fundamentals, athletic development, and game awareness. Competitive tracks stay connected to Michigan youth soccer governance while giving families a stepped path from introductory play to premier travel.
