River City FC

SELECT PROGRAM

Birth Years: 2007-2014

Our Select Program is the next step from the River City FC juniors. In the competitive program teams are formed in each birth year group by ability level. The Select Program is a step below the River City FC Academy but all players in the Select Program are eligible to be "Called up" to an academy team if staff believe they are ready. The select program is for players U11-U18.

Here's what sets us apart:

High Level Coaching: Develop your talents under the guidance of experienced, licensed coaches who are passionate about player development.

Challenging Competition: Test your skills against top teams in the Saint Louis Youth Soccer Association, Local & Regional tournaments.

Teamwork and Camaraderie: Build lasting friendships and forge a deep connection to the sport within a supportive and inclusive team environment.

Holistic Development: We go beyond just soccer, focusing on character building, sportsmanship, and leadership skills.

Year-Round Training: Train consistently throughout the year to refine your technique, improve your fitness, and gain a competitive edge.

The River City FC Competitive Program will launch in the 2024/2025 season.

Select Player Selection

Players for select teams are selected based off their ability, Attitude, & Commitment. Teams are formed by birth year.

During the year players may be moved between teams based on their development and what staff feels is best for their long term development.

Players in the select program must be committed as they will train 2 times per week, play a fall, winter and spring schedule that includes league and tournament play.

High School Age select players will play an off High School Season schedule. Girls will play summer, Fall & Winter and boys will play late fall, Winter, & Spring.
