Who should try out for travel soccer?
Any player who is enthusiastic about the game of soccer, has a basic level of fundamental skills and has a willingness and desire for continuing individual and team development. 

What is Travel Soccer (is extensive travel required?)
Depending on the league your child plays in, Mid-Michigan or Majors, travel is limited to the immediate Tri-cities area. In Mid-Michigan the farthest distance may be Lansing. 

Does playing select soccer mean my child will not be able to participate in other activities?
Players are encouraged to participate in only soccer during their soccer season but players may compete in other sports during the season. Players are still expected to participate and attend practices and games as required by the coach. During the off-season, players are not required to participate in winter training. This is an optional aspect of select soccer.

Who are the Coaches?
The coaches are volunteers with an understanding of the game and soccer knowledge. Coach selection is approved by the MSC Select Committee during a coaching application period and selection is based on previous experience, coaching licenses, history with the club, etc. Coaches are expected to conduct themselves in an appropriate and professional manner while directing practices and games.

What is the time commitment for Travel Soccer?
Players selected for travel soccer are committing themselves to both the Fall and Spring seasons. Typically teams practice three times a week. Teams receive training from the club’s training staff once a week and practice with their coaches twice a week. The coaches’ practices typically run for and hour and a half. 

Select Soccer is about “winning at all cost”
The complete opposite is true in this case. The club’s philosophy is to focus on the development of individual players and age groups. Player development can take years and expecting immediate results is unrealistic. The long-term development is our goal and winning is a secondary focus.
