Select Soccer Season 2 Information

Registration for Season 2 of Select Soccer is open and details are up on our website > https://paladinsports.org/sports/soccer/select-soccer/
Some details to highlight that differ from our first season:
  • League Play (no longer FC Arizona)
    • U11-U14 – ASA Open League
    • U9-U10 – ASA Youth Academy League
  • Fees
    • Registration Fee: $50 (I will waive this for all returning players, just email me and I’ll provide you with a code)
    • Season 2 Team Dues: $500
      Our dues are about 1/2 of most Arizona Clubs and I want to be as transparent with you as possible on where the dues go:

      • Team dues go toward field rentals for practice and games, ASA league registration and referees, coaches stipend, equipment, training shirts (2 for each child), tournament fees and fees paid to Paladin for insurance, marketing, operations etc.
      • Team dues can be paid over 4 months (Jan – Apr)
      • Uniform costs are not included in the Team Dues
      • We will have fundraising opportunities to reduce your cost
  • Practice Location for Season 2 will move to Mon/Wed at Desert Mountain Park. Practice times will be between 5:30 – 8:30 pm depending on the team/coach/age.
If you know of anyone that might be interested in our Select soccer program, playing or coaching, you can give them my information or have them come chat with me during one of our upcoming Saturday morning recreational programs. I’ll be at the information tent at Mountain Vista Academy from 10am – noon on October 7, 14 and November 4.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being a part of the Paladin Soccer Club family and I look forward to the opportunity to continue leading and growing this amazing program and am excited about all that Paladin Sports Outreach is doing to build up our communities and bring athletes and their families closer to God!
