PLAYER PLACEMENT PROCESS

We form teams in our competitive programs by what we call the Player Placement Process. In general, with sporting terms, the word ‘tryouts’ is commonly used. However, we use the phrase ‘Player Placement Process’ – Why? Because we have a very specific philosophy and approach around player development and placement.

Our vision is to provide the best possible soccer environment for all our members. To maximize this, it is important for every player to be in the correct environment. Players should always be in a position where they are being challenged, while also finding success and enjoyment. 

The Player Placement Process is a multi-faceted endeavor. While on the outside, only one or two of the steps involved in the Player Placement Process may be visible, behind the scenes, there are numerous pieces to the puzzle being constructed by coaches, directors and other technical staff. Members of the team behind the player placement for each individual player include their current team coach, future team coach, age group coaching staff, program Coaching Director, location Directors of Coaching (DOC), and specialized technical staff.

If you are looking to join the club's competitive programs but do not see ID sessions available for your player, please contact us using the form below.

We are committed to providing a high-quality soccer experience for all our players. To support this goal, we have created a fee structure for our Player Placement Process registration that reflects our philosophy and values and acknowledges the commitment of our current members. 

*The  Player Placement Process fee is non-refundable.*

Youth Academy Program

For our Youth Academy Program there is no registration fee. As the introductory program to our professional coaching staff and training programs, this is an open program where we accept all participants. Within this program, players are placed in the appropriate level of training for their development.

Competitive Programs

Our Competitive Programs (U11 to U19) have a registration fee as detailed below:

Current Members: $50 intent to return fee

The fee reflects the increased direct expenses associated with our Player Placement Process. We are committed to keeping this fee at $50 through the end of the 2026 soccer season. This applies to our recreation players.

Non-members: $100 membership application fee

The fee reflects the increased time and energy our staff dedicates to processing membership applications. This fee ensures that only serious membership applications are considered.
