The Blythewood Soccer Club is holding supplemental evaluations for our Select and Academy-level teams on Saturday, December 14th, 2024 at Doko Park in Blythewood from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm (sign-in begins at 9:30 am).

There is no charge to attend evaluations. Costs only apply if you choose to accept a team placement, and payment plans are available to make participation as accessible as possible.

These evaluations allow our coaches to assess each player's strengths, skills, and areas for improvement. We also consider attributes such as behavior, listening skills, and eagerness to learn. Parents are invited to attend a brief informational meeting, and coaches will be available for feedback and to answer questions. If coaches, players, and parents feel the program is a good fit, players will be invited to join a team.

Our Select and Academy teams are designed for players dedicated to making soccer their primary sport, with goals of progressing to middle or high school teams. These programs require a higher commitment level than recreational soccer. Players join for a full club year (for U15 and above, the program is available only in the fall), with practices starting mid- to late July and continuing until through early May. Teams typically train 2-3 times per week, including a weekly technical training session with Coerver Coaching, a leading soccer training organization.

Players can expect 10-20 games during both fall and spring seasons, plus one to four tournaments. While some games require limited travel, tournaments may involve occasional overnight stays. Players are expected to attend the majority of practices and games, enhancing their development and team experience.

With increased training, games, and tournaments, the cost of Select and Academy programs is higher than recreational soccer. However, the club offers flexible payment plans to ensure the program is affordable for all interested families.
