TEAMS AND PLANS
WE AIM TO DELIVER THE BEST SOCCER EXPERIENCE AND VALUE THIS SIDE OF TOWN.
Developing players is what we do; it is our passion. When you join an NSSA team, you can count on an unparalleled environment for your player that includes: 2-4 contacts per week, the best local competition, consistent winter indoor training, tournaments, and professional coaching.
As players age through the NSSA player pathway, they will progress at unpredictable rates. Optimal player development occurs when players are evenly matched so we offer two tiers of competitive soccer — select (developmental) and academy (advanced). In special cases, exceptional talents will be pushed into older age groups to be challenged.
How to accept a competitive offer:
- Follow the registration link in your team invitation email.
- Complete the registration, selecting the team your player was placed on.
- Make initial deposit to secure your roster spot.
- Choose your payment option (lump sum or monthly).
Note: Please accept your offer within 48 hours or the spot may be offered to other players.
