Common Questions:
How long will I be there? You child will try out for 90 minutes on Saturday and Sunday. There will be an additional 30 minutes of paperwork/ordering. Please plan accordingly.
What is Select Soccer? Select Coaches must have a license E or F; the games will be played in a higher level of competition than our recreational programs. Select soccer is for any player who is looking to increase their skills and has a higher dedication to the sport of soccer.
What is the cost? For the two main seasons — fall and spring — the cost is $250-$300 per child. Gear, tournaments, and winter training is priced separately as each team will decide what their development goals are. This compares well to our recreational program which is $100-$130 per season. The biggest difference is you are signing on for the fall and spring so you should plan accordingly.
Can I volunteer? Yes, we are always looking for coaches, board members, and volunteers. Please tell us if you are interested in using your talents to keep this club low cost!
Remember, all of our coaches and staff are volunteers that are only interested in helping your child have a soccer home in Van Buren/Belleville. Unlike other clubs, there is no paid staff. That is what helps us keep pricing fair. If you have a suggestion or would like to help, please email us back!
Registration is now open for the fall 2018 soccer season. Please go to www.vanburenpride.com to register.
