TRYOUTS
THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN KEYSTONE FC.
Keystone FC is proud of our professional management team assembled to develop high quality players. Interested players are welcome to reach out.
For more information about our teams please reach out to:
TOM RENKO, GIRLS ACADEMY DIRECTOR
MATT GARRETT, GA ASPIRE DIRECTOR
THE KEYSTONE FC PHILOSOPHY FOR FORMING TEAMS:
Our mission is to develop high-quality soccer players throughout Pennsylvania by providing a comprehensive soccer experience for players at all levels of competition. We believe we accomplish that mission, in part, by forming the most competitive teams we can at each age and skill level.
In certain cases, we may ask a player to play “up” for the season (meaning to play with and against players in an older school year). We will make those decisions based on what is best for the development of the player and will do so only after consultation with the player’s family and approval from the appropriate Director of Coaching and age group coaches.
Girls Academy tryouts have concluded. Please contact Jeff Linnenbach for team inquiries.

FEES
Fees are based on a full soccer year (August through July) and are all-inclusive with no additional fees added, uniforms and travel are not included.
Each total fee can be broken down into a commitment fee and 5 team fee installment payments. Upon checking out you will be offered an opportunity to utilize an installment plan or pay the team fees in full. The commitment fee is required to hold a player’s spot.
All commitment fees are non-refundable once paid. Team fees may be adjusted at the discretion of the Executive Director and Director of Soccer in specific circumstances (long-term injury or relocation).
Failure to remain current on your financial obligations to Keystone FC will result in the player being removed from training and games until all financial commitments are up to date.
If joining Keystone FC after the start of the season fees are subject to change.
