Player Commitment BINDING ON or After June 14, 2024.
All dates are subject to change.
The Germantown Legends are always looking for dedicated athletes to add to our roster of talented players. If a player has recently moved into the area during the season, or has missed our scheduled tryouts, please contact us.

Germantown Legends teams will be selected through a 2-3 day tryout process that allows coaches to evaluate players in the areas of foot skills, athletic ability, fitness, and tactical understanding. Teams will be selected through a group effort of the entire training staff and coaches. All players who are interested in playing for the Legends must attend ALL tryout dates.
Players should arrive 30 minutes prior to times posted on their initial day of try-outs to allow for check-in. Each player should bring water, soccer ball and wear shin guards to all tryout sessions.
Legends players are expected to try out with their age group. Decisions will be made on players internally by the coaches and directors based on Legends “Play up” standards as to wether a player will be moved permanently to an older team’s roster. If a player is already playing up in an age group then they can continue to tryout for that team unless otherwise notified before the tryout. All incoming players that are trying out will automatically try out for their age group.
Team placement decisions will be released within 7 days of the third tryout date. Players will be placed on teams by age and ability level. If your grade age and birthdate age do not match up, please note in registration.
All tryouts will take place at the Germantown Soccerplex (unless otherwise noted).

ECNL
The ECNL was founded in 2009 as a challenge to the status quo of youth soccer, with a vision to be better. In its first years, the league supported only girls programming, but that was to change.
As a result of grassroots collaboration and innovation driven by youth soccer leaders all around the country, the ECNL quickly rose to national prominence – and ultimately to be the top level of competition and player development in the country. Each step was fueled by a shared commitment to elevating the youth soccer experience.
From inception, the ECNL consistently developed in alignment with the needs of its member clubs, always seeking opportunities to lead and provide more, no matter the challenge or adversity. The four letters “ECNL” have become the embodiment of collaborative innovation, opportunity, respect, development, and excellence in youth soccer, as the once-radical idea of clubs having a voice to determine their future proved to produce results never before seen in youth soccer. Unrivaled numbers of female players, of constantly improving quality, began moving on to the collegiate, professional, and national team levels as the ECNL impact changed youth soccer.
In 2017, the landscape again demanded more and the ECNL Boys was founded, setting the stage for an amazing period of rapid growth, increasing quality and further change in youth soccer. Starting with 57 of the top boys clubs in the country, the creation of the Boys ECNL once again demonstrated how a total commitment to improving the experience of players, coaches, clubs, and the environment in which they develop, can change everything.
Today, the ECNL represents the epitome of excellence in youth soccer, for boys and girls, as the league and its clubs, players, coaches, and everyone involved seeks to constantly “Raise the Game” for the future.
The ECNL consists of two youth soccer leagues (male and female), each a non-profit, member-based 501(c)(3) organization, with independent governance and leadership structures. The ECNL Board of Directors and staff govern all programs and platforms. The ECNL is sanctioned by US Club Soccer.
