DAY OF:

First and foremost, always double check the tryout schedule in case there are any last minute changes or updates.

Plan to arrive at the tryout field a minimum of 15-20 minutes prior to the scheduled start of each session. Check in at the club tent(s) at the field entry.

Wear appropriate training gear including shorts, cleats, and shinguards. Bring  your own water and do not share it. DO NOT wear any identifying club jersey or other apparel.  Instead, a white or mostly white tee shirt is required.  The club will provide team training bibs for the session.

We will provide medical kits and necessary assistance to any participant in need. Simply make yourself known to the club personnel at the check-in tent(s).

Lastly, we specifically schedule sessions to ease congestion during the overlap times between the end of a session and the start of a following session. Please plan pick-ups and drop offs accordingly to make things flow smoothly for all.

FINANCIAL AID:

Marin FC is committed to accepting players into the club regardless of financial situation. The Financial Aid program is entirely need based and we are projected to allocate about $230,000 in direct (team fee funds) and indirect (fee waivers) assistance to those players that earned a spot on one of our teams.

You may apply for assistance at any time and are encouraged to do so BEFORE tryouts so that when you make a team you will be able to act quickly with regard to preserving your spot. Final deadline for financial assistance is May 31, 2024. Only limited Financial Assistance is available after the initial registration period.
