The club will be holding supplemental evaluations for it select and academy level teams on Saturday, December 15th in Blythewood at Doko at 9am.  These will be to fill open positions or to set up new teams. They are open to anyone that is not currently registered with another club's academy of select programs.

 

These evaluations are designed to allow the club coaches to run your player through some simple drills to better understand their strengths and potential areas that they can look to improve on. In addition to skill level things such as behavior, good listening skills and a desire to learn and get better are also key things we look for. There will be a short parents information meeting and coaches will be available to give feedback on your player and to answer questions about these programs. If the club coaches, parents and player feel the program is a good fit you will then be invited to join one of the teams.

 

These teams are designed for players looking to make soccer their primary sport with hopes of playing for they middle or high school teams in the future. The biggest differences between rec soccer and our academy and select programs is commitment levels. Players on these teams are committing to a full club year. Most teams start practice in Mid to late July and run until early November before taking a break for the holidays and starting back in early January and running through early May. Teams also typically practice 2-3 times a week including at least one weekly technical training session with Coerver Coaching. Teams typically play in 10-20 games in both the fall and spring season including one to three tournaments. Some of these games will required limited travel although in these age groups most league games will be in the Columbia area. Occasionally a tournament may require an overnight stay, but at this age that would be limited. With all the extra training and games the cost is typically more than Recreation level soccer, but the club does offer payment plans to help make the program affordable to most families.
