Overview

Our Competitive Soccer Program is just that COMPETITIVE.

Competitive Defined: This is meant for the aspiring player who wants to take soccer to the next level.
: relating to or characterized by competition.
: being as good as or better than others of a comparable nature.

This side of our programing requires more time commitment and effort by both the player and their family.

While we do focus on having fun, our main focus within competitive is to increase individual player skills, foster team building, teach soccer playing strategies, teach field recognition, and show good sportsmanship each and every time, a player hits the field.

Competitive soccer is naturally a more aggressive atmosphere which parents and players need to be aware of.

Parents and players also need to be aware that coaches take the forefront on player positions and time on the field.

These focus points help to push our players to be competitive with other clubs in the valley while also improving as individual players and people.

Our competitive season runs from Fall to Spring every year and is broken up into different sessions and IYSA competitive play seasons.
