The Select program was created to serve the needs of the more committed, experienced, and exceptionally talented soccer player. Our mission is to provide these players the opportunity to develop skills to their fullest potential through expert training and excellent team competition that is commensurate with the level of play they are capable of.
Select teams are formed by bringing such similarly skilled players together to train and compete at the highest levels possible. Our coaching staff evaluates, identifies, and recommends players who might benefit from these higher levels of training and competition. When players reach this level they are expected to commit the time and effort necessary to bring about self-improvement and to contribute to the goals of their team.
It is important to note, however, that the interest of the player is paramount. Our coaches continue to monitor the progress made by players within this program. If they determine, during the course of the season, that a select player is not able to cope, this player may move back into his/her previous team within the age group so the player is able to learn at a more appropriate pace. This flexibility within the age group allows players to train to their potential as their training needs change. To learn more about how our age groups are structured look here.
Today, the Select program is delivered as RAY Soccer in conjunction with partner clubs.
