Development Through Training

SESA' Select Program is geared toward players who have outgrown the Recreational Program and are looking for a more challenging soccer environment. Players who play at the select level usually have a personal goal, such as to play for the high school varsity team, or to play college soccer, or to become a professional player and play for the National Team. The main objective of the Select Program is to help each player reach his/her potential and achieve his/her goal. 

Player team placements are held in June each year (actual dates for tryouts can be found on our Calendar of Events). Our Professional coaching staff evaluates the skills, potential and enthusiasm of each candidate to determine who will play at the select level. When players reach the Select level, we ask that they commit the time and effort necessary to bring about self-improvement and to contribute to the goals of their team. We make the same demands on the SESA coaching staff.
