PRE-COMPETITIVE SPRING/SUMMER
WHAT IS PRE-COMPETITIVE?
The Pre-Competitive Program is open to U7 & U8 players only. This program offers a structured environment focused on developing foundational skills, game tactics & teamwork, and serves as the first impression families have of "Competitive Soccer."
The goal of the program is to provide families with a program that blends pieces of
Recreational Soccer:
- single location travel and competition
- seasonal commitment
and Competitive Soccer:
- some local-travel events
- paid full-time coaches
- player ID cards
while providing an experience to prepare players to progress on the player pathway toward the
Competitive Program Tryouts when age-eligible at U8 or U9.
SPRING/SUMMER OVERVIEW
Players will train weekly with our full-time coaching staff, play in-house games, and participate in three TCSL FIVES weekends.
This program is designed for players who are new to soccer or ready for a more competitive environment, helping them build confidence and prepare for Tonka United U8 or U9 tryouts in July.
Players will be evaluated and placed on teams by our full-time coaches. U7 teams will be balanced in the Fall and Winter, then tiered by skill in the Spring. U8 teams will be tiered by skill all year.
U7 will be limited to 30 players per season, with three teams of up to 10 players. U8 will be limited to 24 players per season, with two teams of up to 12 players. Friend requests will not be accepted.
