In order to participate in our youth soccer clinic or camp, a child is required to wear appropriate soccer attire. A standard outfit includes shin guards, cleats, and athletic socks as well. Additionally, it is strongly recommended that the parents always have a bottle of water and some sort of nutritious snack on them at all times. Children frequently need a break, and water and snacks are a good way to replenish their energy.
Check with the camp organizers to see if there are any additional requirements.
We provide a variety of exercises to help children develop as soccer players; Improving their soccer skills of Dribbling, Passing, Shooting, Soccer Fitness, Soccer IQ, and Confidence with and Without the Soccer Ball. The goal is to prepare better players while growing their love for the beautiful game.
Our coaches will give our young players individualized instruction and useful feedback so they can develop their soccer skills. We work with players individually and in groups until they are capable of taking charge and directing the game on their own. However, how well they progress is entirely dependent on their own abilities and commitment.
Upon joining the club, our Admin team will add your child into our vendor platform with Soccer.com and you will receive an invite to order your uniform package. Email will come from Soccer.com.
Annual costs vary based on the program and age of a child, so we ask that you contact us directly to receive more specific details. Pricing ranges from $1000-$3500 based on age and program participation.
We put all training, games, events and operational fees into one price. We do this to help families better budget year to year for the program and to avoid unnecessary confusion on charges.
Uniforms packages are different for players within different programs with costs from $177 (Competitive) to $281 (High Performance). We purchase new uniform kits every 2 years through Nike.

Register in Playmetrics. Once registered, we will schedule four tryout sessions to allow the player/family to get to know the club, and the coaching staff gets a chance to see the player.
Player evaluations (Individual Development Plans [IDP]) are offered three times a year (beginning, middle, and end) upon request.
Yes, upon request we provide "position specific" player evaluations. This is usually reserved for players U13 and older.
We want players to receive adequate playing time. If the club feels another roster will provide more opportunities for playing time, the Coaching staff will move players to a new roster. Player movement can happen during the year or at the end of the year. Our goal is to provide players with the best "classroom/roster" for their long-term development.
We evaluate players based on our Core Values (CHIRP), desire, talent, and Key Qualities. [Game understanding - Technical Execution - Growth mindset/Winning Mentality, Learning ability, Responsibility/Initiative, Physical Execution].

Rosters finalized for the fall season after August's pre-season camp.
Yes. Please connect with the apporpriate program director to set it up!
When determining the age group for a season, the year the season ends should be used for determining the birth year. Also note that the format “U followed by age” really means that age and younger. For example, U8 should be read as 8 and younger.
High Performance has three practices per week and more games/events planned annually into their schedule with the expectation of attending 100% of the time. High-Performance teams typically participate in competitions with a higher "game resistance."
Competitive has one practice per week and one game planned into their annual schedule. Events are presented to the team once we know the level of the team throughout the year. Players/families can purchase extra training sessions if a player/family wants more practice. We have the same 100% expectation of attendance as High Performance, but players/families have more flexibility to participate in other activities due to less training and games.
We desire to have at least one team east, west, and south U9 - U12 following a universal curriculum. When one team is not possible in a region (east, west, south), we train the players in their geographical region in a "pool" (pool = combined ages - for example, U9 with U10 or U11 with U12) and bring players together for games/events.
At U13 - U19, we select the location for training based on where most players on the team live (east/west/south) when players come from different geographical regions. When we have an entire team in all three regions, we select/offer the top players, based on position, the opportunity to play on a high-performance roster of their birth year. The players not selected remain on their geographical roster (east, west, south).
U9 - U12 players will practice at the geographical (east, west, south) training center closest to your home. If selected for a High-Performance team, the player will practice at the training center for that team (based on majority).
Staff coaches are assigned to teams within the age pool and overseen by the Program Director. We desire to provide one coach to one team.
Players will play in a league (CASA, GLA, ECNL, USL) the club believes best for the player's long-term development.
ECNL teams travel throughout the Ohio Valley (Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, Kentucky, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Indiana). ECNL events occur throughout the United States (examples Carolinas, Florida, California, Texas, New Jersey, etc.)
The Club season U9 - U14 is August through June. The Club season U15 through U19 is October through June. Teams U13 - U19 qualifying for playoffs will play into July.
High Performance non ECNL events are selected annually by Program Directors. Past events we have attended are Jefferson Cup, Crossroads, Bethesda, and Disney Showcase. ECNL teams will participate in ECNL Showcase events and non ECNL events.
