EnglishWhat Facilities, Tournaments, and Extra Opportunities Does New River United Provide?
Updated
New River United (NRU) lists four areas beyond its core leagues that answer this question: FACILITIES, Tournaments, NEXT LEVEL (College Recruiting and International Travel), and supplemental training through Camps, Clinics & Technical Training and Upper 90 Soccer Camp. There is also a SHOP section for club gear. The club's own site presents these as navigation sections rather than detailed program pages, so treat the list below as a map of what NRU offers and confirm specifics (dates, venues, eligibility, cost) directly with the club before you commit.
Facilities and Tournaments
NRU's site includes FACILITIES and Tournaments as top-level sections, which tells you the club maintains venue information and runs or participates in tournament play. What the site does not state is which fields NRU uses, whether they are owned or rented, or how tournament entry works.
If you need those details, ask the club directly rather than assuming:
- Which venues your team trains and plays at, and whether they are indoor or outdoor.
- Whether tournaments are hosted by NRU or attended as away events, since that changes travel and cost.
- Age groups and registration windows for any tournament, because these vary by event.

NEXT LEVEL: College Recruiting and International Travel
The NEXT LEVEL section covers two advanced-player pathways:
| Pathway | What it suggests | What to verify |
|---|---|---|
| College Recruiting | Support for players aiming to play at the college level | Eligibility age, timeline, and whether it is included in competitive fees |
| International Travel | Trips or exposure opportunities abroad | Destinations, cost, age requirements, and selection process |
These are the club's most specialized offerings and are aimed at players already in or moving toward the competitive side of the program. Because NRU describes itself as serving players "at all levels," NEXT LEVEL is best understood as an add-on for older or higher-commitment players rather than an entry point.
Camps, Clinics, and Technical Training
Two named options appear in this category:
- Camps, Clinics & Technical Training — supplemental skill development outside regular team practice.
- Upper 90 Soccer Camp — a named camp, likely seasonal.
These are useful if you want extra touches on the ball, a way to evaluate the club before joining a full season, or off-season training. Check whether a given camp is open to non-members, since that determines whether it works as a trial.
Futsal as a Year-Round Option
NRU lists Futsal with Summer Futsal and Winter Futsal variants. Futsal is small-sided indoor soccer played on a hard court, and the summer/winter split means the club offers it in more than one season. This is a practical extra opportunity for players who want to keep playing between outdoor seasons or develop close control.
Shop and Club Gear
A SHOP section indicates club merchandise or gear is available. The site does not list products, prices, or a checkout platform, so whether ordering is online or in person is unconfirmed.
How to Decide What Fits
- New to the club? Start with Rec League or a camp/clinic to test the fit.
- Competitive player (U11–U19)? Look at Competitive Development or Competitive, then layer on NEXT LEVEL if college or international play is a goal.
- Want extra training only? Camps, Clinics & Technical Training, Upper 90 Soccer Camp, or Futsal may work without a full-season commitment.
- Need cost help? NRU lists a Financial Aid section under OUR CLUB.
The club was established in 1976 and describes itself as the largest non-profit sports organization in the New River Valley, so it has the scale to run these programs — but the site does not publish schedules or fees for them. Email [email protected] for current dates, eligibility, and pricing.
