Two entry points. One demanding club standard.
North Houston FC is built for adult players who want more than casual minutes. Former college players, experienced competitors, and driven developing players can enter through the team that best matches their current ability and availability.
First Team
The club's senior competitive group represents NHFC in the UPSL (United Premier Soccer League), the Volt League, and US Open Cup Qualifying. Selection brings responsibility, consistent preparation, and strong opposition.
- · Two training sessions per week
- · Competitive league matches every weekend in season
- · Full technical and tactical staff support
- · Exposure to scouts and professional pathway opportunities
Development Team
A structured route for players balancing work or school, rebuilding form, or developing toward the senior group. The commitment is lighter, but the coaching and expectation to improve remain serious.
Committed beginners may be considered for the Development Team. The environment moves faster than beginner soccer, so coachability, effort, and consistent attendance matter immediately.
The Development Team is also open to players who want to train at a high soccer level, get in shape, and improve technically without the full league or game-day commitment of the First Team.
- · Two training sessions per week
- · Weekend games during the season
- · Structured development plan and feedback
- · Direct promotion pathway to the First Team
Before you request an evaluation
What leagues does the club compete in?
Our First Team competes in the UPSL, Volt League, and US Open Cup Qualifying rounds. The Development Team plays a weekend fixture schedule with a promotion pathway to the First Team.
What is the training commitment?
Both teams train twice per week and play games on the weekends during the season. Attendance and effort are what unlock playing time and promotion.
Are beginners welcome at tryouts?
Beginners are welcomed to join the Development Team if they are serious, dedicated, and eager to improve. The level of play will be higher than a beginner level, but our coaching staff values players with a willingness to learn and a strong work ethic.
What is the expected level of play?
The First Team is built for players with college, semi-pro, professional, or comparable competitive experience. The Development Team gives coachable adult players a structured place to improve and earn consideration.
How does promotion to the First Team work?
Development Team players are evaluated continuously by the technical staff. Players who consistently demonstrate quality, commitment, fitness, and tactical understanding are invited to train and compete with the First Team. Promotion is performance-based and earned in training and competitive fixtures.
Can I join just to train and get in shape without playing league games?
Yes. The Development Team is designed for players who want to train at a high soccer level, stay fit, and improve technically without the full league and game-day commitment required of the First Team. You can choose the training-focused path while still having access to occasional scrimmages and local competitive opportunities.
Where are tryouts held?
