There are three soccer club tiers: recreational, competitive, and professional. Recreational soccer is for players who want to play the spot for the fun of it; it’s more relaxed and there’s less pressure as it is a non-competitive environment. Competitive soccer is for players who want to improve their game and compete with similarly skilled players. Professional soccer is for the cream of the crop. To join a professional soccer league you must be scouted or go through rigorous tryouts.
