Interest in our Winter Select Program has continued to grow, with record numbers of players attending tryouts each year. On average, about 1 in 4 players is selected for a Winter Select team.
To help families decide if Winter Select is the right fit, we’ve outlined the player criteria, evaluation standards, and registration details below. Our club offers three levels of soccer, ensuring every child has a place to play in an environment that matches their abilities and goals.
Players considering Winter Select tryouts should meet the following expectations:
Eligibility: Only players who participated in our Fall 2025 Select or Recreation program are eligible.
Skill level: Candidates should typically be among the top 2–3 players on their current recreation team.
Experience: Most selected players have more than one season of organized soccer (recreation or select).
Commitment: Players must demonstrate focus, team commitment, and readiness for a higher level of play.
Coachability: Players are expected to be receptive to coaching, team-oriented, and motivated to continue developing, with aspirations to play at the Select or Competitive level.
Attendance: Players must be committed to attending all Winter Select team trainings and matches.
Our professional coaching staff will oversee all tryout evaluations.
Attendance: Players are expected to attend both scheduled tryout sessions.
Evaluation focus: Coaches will assess players on the following areas:
Technical ability: Passing, receiving, and dribbling.
Tactical awareness: Movement off the ball, spatial awareness, and decision-making in all phases of play (attack, defense, and transition).
Physical ability: Speed, strength, and agility.
Mindset: Players should consistently compete, engage in all phases of the game, and display coachability.
A $50.00 tryout fee is required at the time of registration:
The fee is non-refundable and helps ensure players registering are fully committed to the Winter Select season.
Players selected for a team will have the $50.00 credited toward their Winter Select registration fee.
This fee also supports Winter Select program expenses, allowing us to provide professional coaching, quality fields, and an organized experience for all families.
Before registering, we encourage parents to consider their child’s current ability, level of commitment, and family schedule. If Select is not the right fit at this time, our Winter Development Academy is an excellent alternative for skill development under the guidance of our professional coaching staff.
Following the final tryout session, our professional coaches and administrators will finalize team rosters.
Notification emails to selected players may take several days to complete.
Players offered a roster spot will have 24 hours to accept. Failure to respond within this timeframe will result in the spot being offered to an alternate player.
Players not selected will receive notification once all rosters are finalized, typically within 7 days of the last tryout.
Please note: Roster selections are not negotiable, and the club does not provide evaluation scores, comments, or feedback.
We understand tryouts and team selections can be an emotional process for players and families. Our commitment is to be as timely, fair, and sensitive as possible while supporting each child’s soccer journey.
