We are dedicated to serving the needs of the more committed soccer players by providing the highest level of education and instruction available thereby preparing the players to be a proud representative of the Club at local, state, regional and national competitions. Maryland United FC strives to develop confident players who have not only reached their full athletic potential but are also prepared to become active and productive members of the community. We are pleased to announce the start of our “Helping Hands” program at Maryland United. Our Helping Hands project will be used to run a number of community based programs under its banner.

GIVING TUESDAY

Help Us Keep the Game Within Reach

At Maryland United FC, our mission goes beyond the pitch. We’re committed to developing passionate, high-performing soccer players in an inclusive environment—athletes who proudly represent our club at the state, regional, and national levels. But just as importantly, we strive to nurture well-rounded individuals who contribute meaningfully to their communities.

To ensure that financial hardship never stands in the way of a young athlete’s opportunity to grow, compete, and thrive, we offer need-based support through our Financial Assistance Program. This vital program helps remove barriers for players from under-resourced families, giving them access to the same elite coaching, team camaraderie, and life-changing experiences as their peers.

Your support makes this possible.
Every donation, big or small, provides scholarships for players who need support. This year alone, 65 athletes were able to play the sport they love thanks to generous contributions.

FOOD BANK COLLECTION

Each Fall, Maryland United collects non-perishable, unexpired food items to donate to those in need. This year, we have donated 5 carloads of donations to Mission of Love, the Anne Arundel County Food Bank and the Lighthouse Shelter.

We are very proud of our club and the support we receive from our members.

WINTER COAT DRIVE

Our Coat Drive to support the local community takes place in late Fall. Donating a winter coat is basically a no-effort way to do a good charitable deed for someone else. The winter months can be brutal for low income families and the homeless. The weather can be relentless and dangerous. One jacket or piece of warm clothing can bring a little bit of hope to someone in need.

MENTORSHIP PROGRAM

Maryland United is committed to creating the strongest possible community at our club. Part of this culture is created through relationships and friendships between players in our program. Creating strong role models within our community that embody our core values will help us enhance our culture and have everyone fighting and working toward a common goal.

Our U15-U18 players will attend U9-U14 home games and provide support, guidance, and feedback to the younger players in our system. Players will assist with warm-ups, pre-match team talks, game management, game analysis, post-game feedback, and the captains will speak to the younger teams about what it means to represent our badge, community, and club.
