Competitive Soccer
Our staff of licensed, professional coaches have a strong emphasis on player and team development through structured practices utilizing USSF and USC (formerly NSCAA) coaching methodology. Player development will focus on technical ball skills as well as character building. Coaches encourage individual creativity, problem solving and decision making while teaching players to read the game. Team development will focus on tactical awareness, positional/functional training within systems of play (team formation) while facilitating each player’s natural desire to win.
Competitive soccer (also referred to as select, club or travel soccer) provides a higher level of training and competition for players who wish to dedicate more time to progress their talent. Our goal is to develop high-level players and teams with a focus on character, and a sense of community. Teams are formed each June after tryouts.
Time Commitment: Teams practice twice a week for about 1.5 hours each in August – October, and April – early June. Games are typically on Saturdays. Occasionally games are rescheduled for Sundays due to conflicts and weather.
