SELECT
Select Program Overview
The Select Program offers an opportunity for older youth players (ages 13U to 19U) to play soccer at a more challenging and competitive level, while still placing an emphasis on learning and having fun. IAFC Select players are expected to give a greater commitment of time, energy, and focus to their teams. Select teams are formed once per year, with tryouts occurring in early June. Players are assigned to teams based upon their individual skill levels and team requirements.
Players and their parents at the 13U and 14U level must commit to both the fall and spring seasons, and 15U to 19U players must commit to the fall season. Select boys teams play in MLS Next, National Academy League (NAL) and Southern Clubs Champions League (SCCL). Select girls teams play in Development Player League (DPL) and Southern Clubs Champions League (SCCL). Select teams typically play in 1-2 games per weekend throughout the season, as well as playing in 2 pre- and post-season tournaments each season.
