Free Agent Program


Don't have a team but want to play? You can register as a free agent.


The Houston United Free Agent Program is designed for girls who want to compete in our league but aren't currently rostered on an established team. We'll work to place every free agent on a team before the season begins.

How It Works

  • Register as a Free Agent. Sign up through our free agent registration form. There is no cost to register.

  • Attend the Free Agent Combine (Optional, but Recommended). Before the season starts, we'll hold a combine where registered free agents can showcase their skills in front of coaches and league staff. This is your chance to demonstrate your speed, route running, throwing, catching, and football IQ. The combine is required only for free agents who want to be considered in the team draft. If you don't attend the combine, you can still be placed on a free agent team.

  • Get Drafted or Placed. After the combine, there are two ways you can land on a team:

  • Team Draft: Established teams in the league may select combine participants they'd like to add to their roster.

  • Free Agent Team: If enough free agents remain in a given age division after the draft, and we can secure a coach, we'll form a new team made up entirely of free agent players. Free agents who chose not to attend the combine are eligible for free agent team placement.

  • You Have the Final Say. If a team drafts you, the choice to accept or decline is yours. You can decline any draft selection and remain in the free agent pool for placement on the free agent team. Once you're offered a roster spot you want, you'll have a set window to formally accept.

  • Pursuing Other Teams After Declining a Draft. If you decline a team's draft selection, you are free to reach out to other established teams in the league to explore joining their roster. However, the team that originally drafted you holds a right of first refusal — if another team offers you a spot, the drafting team must first be given the opportunity to confirm or release its claim before you can accept the new offer.


What It Costs


Registering as a free agent is free. You only pay the $150 player registration fee if you accept a team placement. Because no fee is paid up front, there are no refunds — if we are unable to place you on a team, you simply owe nothing.


Who Can Register


Any girl meeting our age cutoff (August 1) for the 8U, 10U, 12U, 14U, or High School age group is eligible to register as a free agent.


Important Notes

  • Free agent placement is not guaranteed. We will only form a new free agent team if we have enough players in an age division and can secure a qualified coach.

  • Combine attendance is required only for draft eligibility. Free agents who do not attend the combine are still eligible for placement on a free agent team.

  • Combine date, location, and format will be announced ahead of the registration deadline.

  • Declining a draft offer carries some risk. If you decline a draft selection and a free agent team does not ultimately form in your age division, you may not have a placement option for the season. Please weigh draft offers carefully.
