The most notable benefit of this program is the pooling of players, i.e. matching players with other players of similar ability. This creates a competitive training environment where players challenge one another and develop in the process. Registering the various teams with the most suitable leagues is an important part of this process from a player-parent satisfaction point of view.
Competitive teams will be formed through try-outs. Sporting Nebraska FC will provide training facilities for these teams. In addition to seasonal training, the select player will participate in winter training at one of the Sporting Nebraska FC official training centers. The winter training program will address technical improvement and tactical awareness within small-sided games.
Additional Competitive program opportunities
Tournaments
For all our select teams we recommend no more than 3 tournaments per season without the approval of the club DOC. The AGC (Age Group Coordinator) will evaluate each Elite team and make tournament decisions based on the strength of the team, financial conditions, and competitive needs. At the U13 and above level, the MRL reduces the need to attend tournaments although it will be necessary for older teams to attend at least some of the more well respected college showcase tournaments on the calendar (Surf Cup, President's Day tournament, Denver Cup).
