Competitive Soccer
Competitive Soccer begins in this area at u9. Kids participate in a tryout process and they are offered a spot on a team based on their current skill level, athletic ability, soccer knowledge, etc..They have a specific coach for the year (typically longer) and they practice only with that coach and team. They play local league and often two tournaments per season. The commitment is 10-months and includes Fall, Winter and Spring seasons. Competitive teams all have professional non parent coaches that are experienced in both coaching and playing and hold soccer coaching licenses and certifications. Teams can very from elite level players to lower level players BUT all players are given coaching and curriculum and given the very best opportunities to develop given their ability, passion and work ethic.
