Our Youth Recreational Development Program (RDP) is developmentally appropriate.  Players in recreational may not have enough time to commit to the demands of a competitive team.  Generally teams travel shorter distances and practice once per week, play one game per week.
Players are assigned to teams based on field locations.  There are no assessments or tryouts.
Our Youth Representative/Competitive soccer  is developmentally appropriate.  Players are assessed and assigned to teams to ensure they are playing at a level where they will be challenged and experience success.
Players may have more interest in the time commitment that competitive teams require.  Generally teams travel more and practice 2 times per week and play 1 game per week (but occasionally there may be more, particularly when players are older).
