Soccer Select Soccer
(aka “Travel” soccer). There are 2 types of youth soccer, recreational and select (which is also called travel soccer). “Select” soccer is more competitive & teams often practice several times per week & play year-round. There are usually try-outs for these teams, soccer players can be “cut” and playing time is not guaranteed. The focus of these teams is often on winning tournaments & that is how their success is judged. They are sometimes called “travel” soccer teams because they travel to tournaments in other cities. These teams often have paid coaches or a paid trainer. They have been criticized for having too much focus on tournament play and not enough emphasis on training. (See “Recreational Soccer“).
Soccer Recreational Soccer
(aka “Rec” soccer). There are 2 types of youth soccer, recreational soccer and select soccer (which is also called travel soccer). “Recreational” soccer is what most youth participate in. There are usually fall and spring seasons, the sponsoring organization lines up the coaches & recruits the soccer players, during the season there is usually one game per week, fun & good sportsmanship are stressed & each soccer player plays at least 50% of each game. Coaches are usually parent volunteers. Rec soccer teams often practice only once per week. (See “Select Soccer“).
