Playing on a competitive soccer team requires a high level of commitment from both players and families. Players benefit from intensive training in the technical, tactical, mental, and fitness components of the game.
Players are expected to attend all training's and games during the season. Most Fall teams typically finish their “league” seasons in late November. Teams also compete in State or National Cup, these tournaments typically finish in late January/early February depending on age group and competitive level. These teams will also generally play a spring season from February thru early June. Teams will compete in generally 3-5 tournaments during the summer months which helps coaches and players develop in preparation for the fall league season.
Q: Can a player play with a team that is older than his or her age group?
A: In most cases, RFC will strive to have players play on an age pure team. Age pure means that all the players will be the same age within the cutoff dates of each age group. With the introduction of US Soccer’s age group guidelines, this is determined based on the year the player was born. These decisions are typically based upon a player’s demonstrated ability to contribute as a “top – half” player on the older team and approval by the club’s director of coaching. There may, however, be some exceptions to these guidelines. It should be noted that players that come from a school together may be in different age groups as it is based upon an age cut-off date and not by grade.
Q: How many players will be selected for each team?
A: There will typically be about 10-12 players on a roster for younger teams (between the ages of 7 & 11), while older’s (ages 12+) will have rosters of 14-17 players.
Q: When will players find out if they have made a team?
A: RFC will do what it can to expedite the notification process, but it does take time. After tryouts finish, coaches work quickly to secure commitments from players chosen during tryouts. Player’s invited to join one of our teams will receive an email along with a phone call typically within a week of trying out. (2-3 training sessions) Coaches will then submit their rosters to the club for processing.
Q: What happens if a player doesn’t make a team?
A: RFC Coaches will email players who do not make teams to inform them.
