United CC Girls Teams
United CC forms teams based on age and player experience to allow for healthy levels of competition. Every United CC player is evaluated and placed on a team that fits her age, ability and skill level.
Teams are generally organized according to a standard age matrix (see below) which aligns with league and tournament divisions. Players may "play up" with older teammates, but cannot "play down" in a younger age division.
Playing times, roster size, point systems, etc. vary by league and tournament.
UCC Girls
UCC coaches value collaboration with other clubs and teams in the region. In addition to organizing regular "friendlies" to allow players to put their training to the test in a scrimmage setting, UCC players are often invited to "guest play" when teams need an extra player, and other teams reciprocate for our teams. This allows our players to be exposed to different strategies, teammates and competition experiences for additional development and growth.

*According to U.S. Soccer's Player Development Initiatives, when determining the age group for a season, the year the season ends (2024) is used for determining the birth year. Also note that the format “U followed by age” really means that age and younger. For example, U10 should be read as 10 and younger.
