Happy New Year to all our Med City FC fans, sponsors, and current and former players and staff! With 2020 now behind us, we’re full steam ahead on the 2021 NPSL season. We know that there are still some major challenges in the year ahead, and we’re working to plan accordingly. Here’s where we stand moving forward.
Roster
We’re already working on the roster and we’ve got some exciting players coming in, which include a couple surprises! Look for signing announcements to be forthcoming in the next few weeks.
With the additional challenges of Covid-19 and the potential struggles we foresee with host families, we’re looking to keep more southeast Minnesota-area players than we have in quite some time. We encourage interested area players to contact us at medcityfc@gmail.com if you’re interested in being considered for the team!
Tryouts
Due to the current Covid-19 situation, we will not be holding tryouts as early as we have in the past. Instead, we’ll look to hold them probably sometime in mid-March in hopes that the infection rate is on a strong downward spiral by then. Once we have the date locked down, we’ll be sure to spread the word so that players can register.
Sponsors
We know that this is a tough time for small businesses. We’ve felt the effects of Covid-19 on our own business with the loss of our entire 2020 season. Sponsors are vital to the running of our team and we’re hoping that we can build some great new relationships with area businesses to go along with the incredible support we have from some wonderful long-time partners. We would love to discuss any and all opportunities with Rochester-area businesses. If you’d like to connect, please contact us at medcityfc@gmail.com to discuss options, starting at just a few hundred dollars!
Host Families
This team cannot function without host families. We understand that there might be some major concerns over the thought of bringing in a college-age soccer player from another part of the country or from another country entirely. However, if you feel comfortable with the idea of hosting a player, we would love to talk more with you about it!
Volunteers
Volunteers are a vital piece of everything we do. We’re looking for people with a wide variety of skill sets from marketing and graphic design, to social media, to ticket sales, to a range of game-day tasks. If you’d like to help us out in any way, just let us know!
We believe that we’re going to come out of this pandemic a stronger organization than we were before. We have a lot of exciting things to look forward to in 2021, including the US Open Cup and what is shaping up to be perhaps the best NPSL North Conference season yet! Initial discussions on the schedule are underway and we are hoping to have tickets on sale as early as mid-February. We’re looking forward to providing you with 90 Minutes of Mayhem this summer and can’t wait to see you at the games!
