Players must attend tryouts and be selected to play on a select team. The coach is usually a parent, and has received an F and E coaching license in addition to training with the Positive Coaching Alliance. Many teams also hire a professional soccer trainer to improve foot skills, passing, and game strategy. In addition to the 10 regular season games, many teams participate in some pre and post season tournaments.
