Since the introduction of our BRAUSA Experience Tryouts last year, the club has received a tremendous amount of positive feedback. The truth is, BRAUSA was established through a Brazilian soccer phylosophy and in Brazil tryouts happen at every practice. BRAUSA do not believe in only recruiting through tryouts, but we are an American-Brazilian club and found a way to balance both cultures. The greatest soccer players were not discovered at a tryout. Practice Experience Tryouts is the early chance to get into BRAUSA. Final decisions are made by our coaches and offers are made at these early tryouts. Practice Experience Tryouts are the early sessions of our Club Wide Tryouts expansion, which in 2023 will be on May 12th for the Girls and May 12th for the Boys. What are the Practice Experience Tryouts details? • Flexible official tryouts conducted during standard and live practice. It’s a win-win situation for parents, players and BRAUSA. It allows the parents and players to experience a regular practice, feel the BRAUSA Family atmosphere and pick the brains of BRAUSA parents, players and coaches. Coaches get to observe the prospect players’ ability to adjust to our training philosophy and assess his/her skills level. What is the difference between Practice Experience Tryouts and Club Wide Tryouts? • The only difference is the fact that existing BRAUSA players only tryout at the Club Wide Tryouts. The Practice Experience Tryouts are early sessions for new players to be seen and be selected before the Club Wide Tryouts. Will player be offered a spot at BRAUSA during the Practice Experience Tryouts? • Absolutely! Practice Experience Tryouts are early tryout sessions. Will the players trying out at Practice Experience be required to attend Club Wide Tryouts? • Yes. Players who attend a Practice Experience Tryout are still required to attend the Club Wide Tryout, so the coaches can have a better feel for the future team. Exceptions will be made to players who are offered a spot during a Practice Experience Tryout. Are players still required to register online? • Yes. All players must register through: https://stonealley.com/program/Overlea/group/BUFC What do players need to bring to tryouts? • Plain white/navy shirt, shinguards, soccer shoes and water. We hope the BRAUSA Family will be a great fit most players coming to our practices.

After a year of growth and a trip to represent Maryland at Disney, the 2007 BRAUSA Blue Storm came out of the summer steaming. Our Blue Storm Girls were finalist at their last 4 tournaments and Champions at 1 of them. BRAUSA Blue Storm plays with the intensity, strength, and they play the beautiful game BRAUSA is well-known for. While respecting every team and fearing no one, the Storm is setting the bar high for our growing 2009, 2010 and 2011 girls program. Watch out for the BRAUSA 07 Blue Storm!!!

2005 Blue brings down the Virginia #1 team to go 2 for 2 for the season. After going down 2 goals early in the game, BRAUSA Boys fought back to tie the game and put our goalkeeper Jake on the line (literally) to make 2 amazing saves on PKs. The Boys in Blue brought home the championship title from the OBGC Capital Cup U16 top flight. 2005 Blue has now won back-to-back pre-season tournaments, undefeated and setting themselves up for another successful year. BRAUSA Proud!!!

During the early months of the Corona virus crisis, BRAUSA coaches and few players came together to create a video to make sure our players do not stop training. The training was designed to keep all our players, of all ages and sex, active and in shape. Parents were encouraged to join the effort and engage in the training to keep their stress down and help them connect with their children. At BRAUSA, we never stop training.

In the first 3 years of existence of our club, our BRAUSA 2002 Blue team earned the spot into the finals of the Maryland State Cup two years in the row. Our U16 Boys only needed a second trip to win their 1st State Cup Championship Title, with a convincing 3-1 win over a very strong F.C. Frederic squad.  Under pouring rain and unfavorable field conditions, these boys left their all out on the turf, in front of several passionate supporters.  This group of boys model what BRAUSA is all about. After learning from their experience last year, they went back to work with focus, perseverance and much love for the game of futebol as we know it. Congratulations to Coach Neto, Coach Sergio, and Coach Geoff on a Job Well Done with our 2002 BRAUSA Blue team. Your leadership has been key to this team’s success.  Special Thanks to Tammy for managing the heavy season schedule and team business and a great group of supportive parents.  Special Congratulations to the 2002 Blue players for this great achievement. You have set the bar high and inspired our BRAUSA players to keep our tradition of success. As we step back into our regular lives today, we will think about you and how your hard work, training under high heat and frigid conditions, took BRAUSA and all its supporters to new heights.  Watching Neto cry while trying to deliver his speech last night, explains where some of the passion of this team is rooted.                                                                 Dedication • Passion • Heart                                                                        The Beautiful Game                                                     Congratulations 2002 BRAUSA Blue Team!!
