Competitive Red and Blue teams provide committed and ambitious young athletes a challenging training environment. Red and Blue teams are selected according to ability during placements. Teams train 3 days/week, with specialized technical/plyometric training 1 day/week.  Goalkeepers have one additional day of training per week with TSA goalkeeper coaches. Competitive  teams play in a league that is best suited to the level of that team and typically play one tournament/month. Experienced, nationally licensed coaches strive to improve the players’ skills, broaden their understanding of the game and prepare them to compete at higher levels such as collegiate or professional soccer.

White teams provide competitive level play without the  commitment required of our red and blue teams. White teams are formed through placements and train two days/week with a highly qualified coach. White teams play in leagues that are appropriate for them and each team decides on the tournaments that best meet their needs.

Registration for Red, Blue or White teams does not include coaching fees or tournament costs.
