About
Annapolis Soccer Club is a volunteer-run nonprofit serving the Annapolis area with youth soccer from about ages two through high school. The club runs introductory tots sessions, Saturday clinic soccer for younger children, county league teams through the Anne Arundel Youth Soccer Association (AAYSA), winter futsal indoors, an inclusive TOPSoccer offering, and a travel pathway branded Maryland Rush Annapolis in partnership with the broader Maryland Rush and Rush Soccer network. Programming stresses integrity, respect, accessibility, and inclusivity, with need-based scholarships and heavy reliance on parent and community coaches.
Programs for every age and level
Tots serves ages two and three with eight half-hour weekday sessions across the spring block. Clinic soccer covers roughly ages three through six with Saturday games plus weekly practices for most age bands. County soccer spans about ages seven through eighteen under AAYSA, with birth-year age groups and a rule that players may play up but not down. Winter futsal welcomes ages about three through eighteen in a gym league without club-run practices, while rosters and schedules still emphasize age- and gender-appropriate teams. TOPSoccer offers inclusive Saturday sessions at PAL Park for athletes with intellectual, emotional, or physical disabilities, with volunteer Buddies paired with participants. Travel soccer for roughly ages eight through eighteen operates as Maryland Rush Annapolis, with tryouts required and teams competing in leagues such as the Elite Development Program for many older sides and the Central Maryland Short Sided League for younger travel groups.
Fields, gyms, and how schedules work
County and clinic home activity centers on PAL Park at 1025 Bay Ridge Road, Annapolis, MD 21403, with additional 7v7 and 9v9 space at Annapolis High School so many county teams see about half of their games at those sites. Other county matches rotate around Anne Arundel County communities such as Davidsonville, Broadneck, and Pasadena. For a typical fall county season, practices often start in mid-to-late August, coaches pick practice day and location, and games usually begin the weekend after Labor Day, with U12 games commonly on Friday evenings and other age groups on Saturday afternoons, plus Sunday make-ups when needed. Spring county practices often begin in mid-to-late March with games toward late March or early April as county recreation schedules allow. Tots sessions use PAL Park or a nearby elementary school such as Eastport Elementary, depending on enrollment and coach volunteers. Winter futsal games take place at the Salvation Army gym at 351 Hilltop Lane, Annapolis. Spring TOPSoccer meets Saturdays at PAL Park.
Registration timing and early-bird savings
The club opens registration ahead of each seasonal block and encourages families to register before early-bird deadlines to save money. For example, spring county and clinic programs have used a January 31 early-bird cutoff that saves ten dollars per child compared with later windows, and clinic or tots pricing steps up after the end of February when families register late. Spring tots and clinic sessions have started the week of April 6 in recent spring cycles, with clinic games on Saturdays and an eight-week tots window ending around late May. Winter futsal runs a January-through-March season with a December registration deadline, late fees when space remains, and optional early discounts before mid-November. Travel participation is tryout-based; when a tryout cycle closes, families wait for the next Maryland Rush Annapolis opportunity rather than walking on mid-year without a roster path.
Typical fees, uniforms, and financial help
Spring 2026 county registration has been structured at roughly one hundred thirty dollars early bird, one hundred forty dollars regular, and one hundred sixty-five dollars after the end of February, plus about twenty-five dollars for a required Puma kit for new players and about seven dollars extra for a jersey name. Clinic soccer for the same cycle has landed near ninety-five dollars early bird, one hundred five dollars regular, and one hundred thirty dollars after late February, including a ball and jersey. Tots pricing has mirrored clinic early and regular tiers and also includes a ball and jersey. Winter futsal player fees have run about one hundred ten dollars including an ASC futsal jersey, with ten dollars off for early registration, twenty-five dollars late fees after the deadline when spots remain, ten dollars off for additional siblings, and ten dollars off for U5-U6 players; closed teams pay a separate team fee that does not include jerseys unless added at registration. The Jesse Simmerman Scholarship Fund honors the club’s founder and helps cover fees for families who need assistance; scholarship donations can be mailed to Annapolis Soccer Club, PO Box 5201, Annapolis, Maryland 21403 with the memo the club specifies for that fund. Need-based help for registration and equipment is available by contacting the club by email.
Maryland Rush Annapolis travel soccer
Since 2013 the travel program has competed as Maryland Rush Annapolis, with bylaws tying that brand to ASC’s travel side. The travel pool has grown to on the order of thirteen teams and about two hundred players, with girls teams commonly from U9 through U14 and U17 and boys teams in bands such as U10-U11, U14-U15, and U17 in recent cycles. Older travel sides often play in EDP, while U9-U10 travel groups have used the more local CMSSL. Rush Soccer supplies training frameworks and support to member clubs, and Maryland Rush Annapolis sits inside Maryland Rush Soccer Club for staffing, tryout communication, and competitive scheduling.
Coaching, culture, and inclusion
The organization is entirely volunteer-led, from the board to the sidelines. New parent coaches receive equipment and practice plans, and coaching a county or clinic team typically waives that child’s registration fee and includes a coach jersey, along with input on practice night and field choice when possible. The mission is to grow soccer and positive character through organized, safe, and fun play that stays open to the whole community regardless of economic background, race, or gender.
