What is competitive soccer?
Competitive Soccer, or often called Club Soccer, is for the player that wants to advance their skills and play with/against other higher level players. Competitive soccer can often require a bigger time commitment and is usually played year round with seasons in the fall and spring. Some competitive teams choose to keep their fitness and skills sharp by also playing indoor soccer or futsal during the winter, however this is not mandatory for NBFC teams.
What is the commitment and is there travel involved?
In the U9-U12 age groups teams will typically practice twice a week for 1-1.5 hours at a time.The U13+ age groups will typically practice 2-3 times a week for 1.5-2 hours at a time.
The fall season typically runs from mid August through the beginning of November. The spring season typically runs from the beginning of March through the end of May.
In addition to league games the younger teams will play in 2 local tournaments. The older age groups will play in 4 (or more) tournaments and may opt to add travel tournaments as they see fit for their teams.
Can my child be placed on a team with friends?
Since this will be competitive soccer there will not be a guarantee the rosters will be the exact same from year to year. Rosters will be put together based on tryouts. That being said, kids that have played together often end up moving forward on the same team assuming their skills levels remain similar.
Where do my fees go to?
*Prices do not include uniforms and no player will be turned away due to an inability to pay.
The fee will include both fall and spring league fees. The fee will not include indoor soccer or additional training opportunities (D1, Rock & Armor, etc) since these are not usually attended by the whole team.
In the U10-U12 age groups it would include 2 tournaments registration fees. U13+ age groups will include 4 tournament registration fees.
A portion will go to pay the coaches for the huge amount of time and effort they put into the teams.
A portion will also go to a club staff; a registrar and club director. This is an attempt to make this a more organized club where boys and girls teams look out at Simplot and can recognize each other and have a common mission and vision for what we want to represent when wearing the NBFC uniform.
Money would remain in the budget to purchase new gear, liability insurance, TeamSnap, rent facilities, etc.
The uniform package is not included, but it will be less than the other clubs.
