Most players in our club play at the Recreation level. The Competitive soccer program is for those players U9 and above who are looking for a higher level of play and possess the skills necessary to compete with more advanced players/teams. Those players wishing to play at the Competitive level must attend tryouts and be selected to play on a Competitive team. The Coach is usually a parent of one of the players on the team, he or she must have an USSF E, F or Grassroots coaching license, have a background check through Live Scan, and be certified with the Positive Coaching Alliance. Most Competitive teams also hire a paid Professional Soccer Trainer to improve technical/tactical play aspects like foot skills, passing, and game strategy. Teams play 10 regular League games, and also participate in pre and post season tournaments. Granite Bay FC's Competitive soccer teams adhere to a play rule for U9-U11 of 35%, ensuring that all players play at least 35% play time of each league game, and 35% of tournament games. U12 and up adhere to a 35% play rule for games and tournaments.
