The purpose of the select soccer teams are to provide instruction, skill development and competition to those players who desire to play at this level. The expectation for each player is to improve their individual skills in order to help the team compete and excel. Select teams will be formed by birth year – this is mandated by the USSF/WYSA. However, younger birth years can always try out for older teams.
