Select Soccer in Fall
We do not offer any selection process within our regular Fall season. Highly competitive teams formed following Rec principles can and sometimes do play in Select divisions.

Off- Season Teams

 

The Vashon Island Soccer Club recognizes that cross-training is an effective way for youth athletes to achieve their greatest physical potential and psychosocial maturity and we do not intend for soccer to be a substitute for other sports during their regular season. We believe in variety as greater choice in sports promotes health for all kids. Our club focuses on the fall soccer season and creates no expectation that players should extend their play to be successful in soccer.

However, we do provide support for coaches that want to offer off-season soccer to players that demonstrate the desire and motivation to play more than the regular Fall season provides. We also support play in a winter futsal league. These opportunities are at the discretion of volunteer coaches. Coaches are encouraged to offer all players/guardians in the age cohort the opportunity to discuss with the coach the suitability of each player for the planned event(s).

Coaches may choose players:

• that find the most enjoyment in the game
• have best fit the level of competitive play
• have an ability to listen well and focus on more complex activities
• have stamina for intense training
• have families with the flexibility to meet varied practice schedules and games
• other similar reasons.

Coaches will try to accommodate as many appropriate players as possible, however, roster size is often limited by league and tournament rules. Please contact [email protected] if you have questions about individual coaching plans for tournaments or other off-season play.
