2021-2022 VSA Select

Select soccer is for players who wish to be in a more structured environment with players of similar commitment levels, technical, and/or physical abilities.

June 16th is the invite to play date (formerly known as bid day) for 11U (2011s) through 13U (2009s). June 30th is the invite to play date for 14U (2008s) through 19U (2003s).

Tryout procedure dictates that you only have 12 hours to respond (8:00 A.M. to 8:00 P.M.).

All teams are coached by the VSA Professional Coaching staff. Coaching assignments are announced at tryouts. All professional coaches have experience playing and/or coaching soccer at a high level and an emphasis is placed on continuing education throughout the coaches’ tenure with our club.

Virtual Training - If the situation merits and we are unable to train in person we will train virtually until the restrictions are lifted or that specific season comes to an end. We also understand that virtual training is not like in-person training however we do feel that the players can receive the same value, which is laid out below:

Fall & Spring (Training Sessions)

2 - 30-minute sessions a per week with your training group / team

1 - 30-minute player meeting each week

1 - 30-minute individual (1:1) training session every 2 weeks (twice a month)

Winter (Training Sessions)

1 - 30-minute sessions a per week with your training group / team

1 - 30-minute player meeting each week

1 - 30-minute individual (1:1) training session every month (once a month)

Games: CDL games* on weekends versus other select teams from Iowa and possibly Nebraska; 2-4 tournaments (usually in-state with a stronger likelihood of out-of-state travel for older teams) per season. Some teams may participate in ECNL / ECNL-RL / NPL as they get older and/or reach higher levels of team success.

Travel: Most league games take place in the metro area with some travel requirements taking teams to larger neighboring cities (for example, Cedar Rapids) within the state. No overnight accommodations are necessary for league games. Travel to out-of-town tournaments generally requires a minimum one-night stay.

Fees for Tournaments: All tournament fees are included in the annual fee. There could be an occasion where an event becomes available and we would need to collect from the parents. This would be very rare but could happen at some point in time during the year.
