When does Select soccer take place?
For 13U-14U, there are two seasons of Select soccer: Spring and Fall. The Fall season runs from the end of August through mid-November. The Spring season runs from mid-February through mid-May. Due to high school soccer, for 15U-19U there is only a Fall season that runs from the end of August through mid-November.

When are the team practices?
Each team is assigned practice days from available slots Monday-Thursday. Practices take place 2-3 days a week (depending on age), and are approximately 1.5-2 hours per session. Age-specific group training may take place as appropriate. All practices are at Bethesda Park.

When and where are the games played?
Select games are a mixture of home games at Bethesda Park, and away games at various clubs in/near Georgia. Starting in Fall 2020, our select teams are a member of SCCL, and are scheduled in the appropriate division by the organization. As such, some travel may be required through-out the season. Majority of the games are played on Saturdays, but there may be games on an evening during the week or on a Sunday to ensure all games are played in the allotted time.

Can I make requests for specific teammates and coaches?
Given the competitive structure of the Select program, you are not able to request specific coaches or teammates.

How are teams formed?
Teams are formed after season try-outs. Chosen players will be placed on age-appropriate, gender specific teams.

My child participated in try-outs for the Select program. What should we expect next?
You will be contacted by a representative from Steamers FC within 7 days of the try-outs to advise of our decision. Once offered a spot on a team, the team coach/team manager will contact you regarding necessary actions prior to the first day of practice (i.e. confirmation of age, head shot of your child, medical waiver).

4U-8U: Size 3 soccer ball

Do we have to purchase a uniform?

Yes! But, only if you haven't purchased the Capelli kit used in Fall 2023/Spring 2024. This is the second season of our two-year uniform cycle. As such, you are required to purchase the approximate $300 uniform kit directly from our new provider, Capelli. The kit may only be purchased after registration has been completed. The mandatory package includes: 2 games jerseys; 2 practice jerseys; 2 pairs of shorts; 2 pairs of socks; 1 training jacket; and 1 training pants. Additional optional items (such as bags) will be available to purchase.
