WHAT IS SELECT SOCCER?
|
 |
In simple terms, “Select” soccer means that players are chosen (selected) for positions on teams using a means of assessment, such as a tryout. Positions on teams are secured based on performance. This differs from recreational soccer where players may be placed on teams simply by signing up.
Smyrna Soccer Club is extremely proud of our Select Soccer Program. The success of our teams can be directly contributed to our professional coaching staff, the clubs philosophy and curriculum that all combine to aid the long-term, progressive development of the individual players on the teams. From the beginning, Smyrna players are trained with their long-term development in mind rather than immediate team success.
Select Soccer is the right place for families and players who:
- DESIRE to train hard with our professional coaches
- DESIRE to better yourself as a player each day
- DESIRE to be a part of a successful team
- DESIRE to compete in Games and Tournaments
The Select level of play is for players who desire a more competitive training environment, compete against rising stars of the US Game and share a passion for the sport with teammates. Tryouts take place each year in the months of May / June which you must attend to be accepted. In rare circumstances players can be added to teams after tryouts and if you are interested please contact us for further details.
The Select player is of any age and are truly challenged to perform at a higher level both technically and tactically, individually and as a team. Beyond the additional Training, Matches, Travel and Tournaments, more is expected of each player and each team in commitment, effort, desire, and results than our Recreational player(s). Select soccer is to push and test your players abilities to become the best you can be.
Our Professional coaches are all fully licensed, have experience in both playing and coaching, completed background checks, passed an formal interview (including watching practical sessions) and most importantly are passionate about the sport and excellent role models for your children.
Our practice facilities include city parks (Jonquil, Riverline and Tolleson Parks).
