What
is Summer Select? Just a quick overview of the program!
Q: What is Summer Select?
A:
Summer Select is a program rebooted by SJGSL (SJYS) in 2017 as a supplemental
summer program for players in South Jersey. This will be our second year
offering select opportunities to boys players also.
Q: Who is eligible to
tryout?
A:
Players register for posted tryouts to be held in December. Tryouts are FREE
and are open to all players in SJGSL and SJSL. New this year, if your club
plays in the SJ leagues but your child’s team left for better competition, your
child is eligible to participate.
Q: What ages can tryout?
A:
Age groups for 2022 are 2008 – 2013, there is also potential for a high school
age if there is adequate quality and numbers.
Q: How many teams per age?
A:
Generally, there is one (1) team per age, however it is determined by the
number of players trying out. Last summer the 2009 girls team has so many
quality players, we created two highly successful teams.
Q: How often does the team
practice?
A:
The teams generally train once a week, starting in May and continuing for 12-14
training sessions through the last tournament. Last summer most teams began in
March or April and most teams held more than 20 training sessions during the
program, and some teams trained two times per week once the season finished.
Q: What is the time
commitment?
A:
Teams practice once weekly, but the location and time is determined by the
coach and team once formed. The teams play three (3) summer tournaments during
June and July which are also determined by the coach and team based on
availability. And we ask that all selected players consider their availability
when accepting the position. Some teams train more than once weekly once the
spring season is finished.
Q: What is the cost to
accepted players?
A:
The fee for accepted players is $400. For that players get, a player pass,
training, three tournaments, a complete NIKE kit (colors change yearly), and a
training top. Plus goalkeeper specific training weekly, for all Summer Select
goalkeepers.
