Good to know
Common questions
Do we need our own equipment?
Just cleats, shin guards, and a size-appropriate ball. The club provides the kit for Travel and Elite; Rec gets a club shirt.
What if my player misses tryouts?
Recreation never has tryouts. For Travel and Elite, contact us and we'll schedule a makeup evaluation before rosters lock.
Is financial assistance available?
Yes. Ridgewood United offers need-based scholarships so cost is never the reason a kid can't play. Ask during registration.
Rosters fill fast. Claim your spot.
Registration for the 2026 season is open now and closes when teams are full. Sign up today and we'll take it from there.
