Select
The goal of our select/travel soccer program is to prepare young people for competitive play at the next level by providing players with the tools, knowledge, and skill set to aid the transition to the tactical side of the game with ease, effectiveness, and efficiency.
Serves U9–U18 age groups.

The Academy Program’s primary focus is on player development. Results on the field are important but are not the primary objective of Academy teams. Our goal is to prepare for 11v11 competitive play while providing players with the tools, knowledge, and skill sets to make transitioning to the tactical side of the game an easy, effective, and efficient one.
What to Expect
Local travel is to be expected.
Friendlies played most weekends - either at Rotary Soccer Park or at the venues of local clubs.
Tournament play is part of the Academy program but is limited to one “overnight” event per season.
Level of Play
Developmental to advanced. We understand that many players come to “competitive” soccer at different phases in their development cycle. We gladly offer opportunities for all players looking to make a greater commitment to the game than a recreational setting can afford.
Previous Playing Experience Required
Club or travel playing experience is not required but a general understanding of the game is a prerequisite. Our tryouts are free and open to anyone interested in taking the next step in player development. Our coaches are seasoned and experienced at identifying potential and talent in even those players who have limited “organized” soccer experience.
Additional Programs/Benefits
Licensed and experienced coaching.
2–3 training sessions per week.
Goalkeeping training.
Technical skills training
Striker training.

Showcase Program players and teams represent the portion of our program that has completed the developmental transition to 11v11 full-sided soccer. They represent Stones River Futbol Club in state and regional competitions and set the standard that our younger groups aspire to match or potentially surpass.
What to Expect
Players should be prepared for a positive, intense, and competitive training environment. The primary focus will be strengthening core technical foundations while adding more advanced tactical elements. The balance of technical to tactical training will tilt heavily toward the tactical side in the team setting. Players are expected to be fully committed to individual skills training and conditioning outside of practice.
Families should be prepared to travel to compete in regional tournaments, out-of-state tournaments, and state and regional league play.
Level of Play
Competitive to highly competitive level of play. Our teams will train to compete against some of the best teams and clubs in our region and across the country.
Previous Playing Experience Required

If a player misses a payment, Stones River Futbol Club reserves the right to suspend the player card of any player whose team or club account is past due. Suspension of a player card results in the player being unable to participate in training, games, and tournaments until all balances are paid.
