The design is to play in fewer tournaments, practice less,
and be more flexible than the “norm” with participation expectations – particularly for U11, U12, U13, and
U14 (our experience is that there is typcially less conflict at U9 and U10).
The fee structue would be reduced too (ranging from $40 to $50 less than regular fees). The basic approach
is to embrace, rather than tolerate, multi-sport kids. It enables them
to explore other activities, while playing very competitive select soccer.
If you are interested in this approach for your
son or daughter, please e-mail club director Jeff Dybdahl at dybby@juno.com with the following: child's name, birthdate (day/month/year), and gender.
More on the pilot team
The U11 Silver Eagles, newly formed in Fall '07, represents a departure
from most youth sports team models ... in that the basic concept was to support players participating in other sports.
This team is comprised of boys who also play hockey, football, basketball, baseball, and lacrosse. The team roster was
expanded from 11 in the fall to 14 in the spring to allow for more anticipated conflicts.
