Teams are formed at the discretion of the Augusta United Director of Coaching.

Leagues & Tournaments

Premier teams participate in the highest level of play in the Virginia Premier Soccer League.

VPSL league play consists of 8-10 matches per season. Additional friendly matches and scrimmages will be arranged seasonally by Augusta United’s Director of Coaching. Premier teams will compete in two tournaments per season, typically one prior and one following the fall and spring season.

U15-18/19 teams will compete in the Fall VPSL season only and will be eligible for spring High School play.

Training Sessions

There are training sessions twice per week.

In the U15-U18/19 age groups, there is an emphasis on the technical, tactical, physical and psychological components of the game and preparing players for possible collegiate opportunities but more importantly, preparing for a successful high school season.

In the U14-U11 age groups, there is a heavy emphasis on the technical development (skills/fundamentals) of each player.

Team Commitment

Premier teams are selected in the late spring (June), begin training in late summer (August). Players commit to participate for the entire year.  U15-U19 girls and boys teams will play in the fall season only, while the U11-U14 boys and girls teams are expected to play in both the fall and spring season.

There are no refunds after the registration deadline in June. Players must commit to participating for the full year by this time. Exceptions are only made for medical reasons or family relocation.
