Select Soccer (sometimes referred to as travel soccer) is the most advanced level of soccer within our program. Designed for the serious player, select soccer has cost and commitment expectations that exceed that of the Competitive program. There is more travel and expenses and the commitment and focus of training and competing are greater. Teams are trained and coached by volunteers with support from professional & staff coaches. Teams are expected to play in competitive leagues and tournaments. Our most competitive teams will feature in state and regional advancement competitions.
When we have an age group with large numbers and our numbers are larger than a league roster will allow, we will hold a tryout to determine that team. Players who are not chosen for a team are offered training positions with the club in order to better their skills for future participation.
TEAM FORMATION DATES - June 1 thru July 1
There is only one registration period per year for Select Soccer - the month of June. Players can be added at any point during the year but there must be an opening on a team for that to occur. Players interested in joining a team after July 1, should contact Mike Munch.
The fall season is normally August thru mid-October, the spring season is normally April thru June. The registration fee for the year is $175. Here are other normal per-player expenses as a part of a select team:
Uniform - $131
Tournaments (3-4per season) - $150
Coaching/Training (per season) - $100*
League fee - $50
*for teams who choose to use a professional coach/trainer.
Local tournaments are typically 3-4 times a season, most are within 3 hours of Kearney, a regional tournament each season might be on the schedule (Kansas City, Denver, Sioux Falls, Des Moines). If a team plays a league schedule, that is normally 7 games in Lincoln.
