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“).
