Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ

What is the difference between the Recreational Program and the Select Program?
The recreational program is an in-house program whose primary purpose is to encourage participation and provide an introduction to the wonderful game of soccer. The select program is a program that plays against other clubs at one of five levels: State League -Premier, 1st Division, and 2nd Division and East Central District Leagues - Classic 1, Classic 2, and Classic 3. In addition, teams in the competitive program participate in state and regional tournaments. The primary purpose of the competitive program is to develop soccer players to excel at their highest desired level of competition. Both programs emphasize a passion for the game in a fun environment.

What is the playing season for the Select Program?
East Central sponsors leagues in the Fall (Sep-Oct) and Summer (April-June). Teams train pre-season and during the season and have additional developmental training opportunities available as interested throughout the winter.

How is the Select Program organized?
We organize team by age, gender, and skill level. Our goal is to offer every player an opportunity to play at the appropriate level of challenge. We currently offer boys and girls team from U11-developmental to U19.

How do players get placed on a Select team?
Every player in the program has to attend tryouts and be evaluated to be placed on a team. After evaluation at the tryouts, players are offered a roster spot on a team that the staff considers is consistent with the player’s ability.

When are games played?
East Central District League games are played on week nights in the summer and weekends in the fall. See the Nights of Play page for further details. Tournament games are played on weekends.
 
When are training (practice) sessions?
Training sessions are typically held twice a week during the season with some exceptions due to league play. The amount of training does vary at the coach’s discretion, age, and by competitive level.
 
When does training (practice) begin?
Practices usually begin outside in mid April depending on field availability. Teams can train indoors at one of the various indoor facilities for an early start or to stay fresh with their skills.
 
How many teams do you form in an age group?
The number of players that signs up determines the number of teams we offer in an age group. We will try to accommodate all registered players if we are able to meet minimum roster needs.
 
When are tryouts held?
Tryouts are held once a year in late June. They are scheduled in accordance with WYSA and East Central District rules and regulations.
