Competitive Program

Our Competitive travelling soccer program is for players ages U9 to U19 at various competitive levels. Our teams participate in this travelling program through the Twin Cities Soccer League (TCSL) which we joined in the spring of 2023.

We offer year-round programming with our main outdoor season in spring/summer and a shorter, fall outdoor season. This competitive program is designed for players who are interested in playing at a higher level of competition and under the guidance of a professional coach. Our licensed coaches use age appropriate training methods to create the well rounded player.

Playing in this exciting program requires a higher level of commitment and transportation to/from games and practices. Players should expect to train twice a week and play one league game per week during the spring/summer season. Our U9-U19 teams are also expected to participate in 1-3 weekend tournaments during the spring/summer season, which have some additional costs. Transportation is not provided for these games/tournaments and games can be up to 90 miles away.

An Important Message About Our Competitive Program

One of RSA's goals is to be inclusive and give every player a chance to play. We do hold tryouts to evaluate players and attract new players to the club, but we work hard to find roster spots for every child that registers and we think this sets us apart from many other clubs. We focus on developing players - helping them to grow, learn, improve their skills, and develop virtues like teamwork and sportsmanship. Our successes on this pitch come from focusing on growth and player development first, and that's why we don't turn players away.

One other way in which we strive for inclusion in our community is by working hard to keep our costs and player fees low. We have many volunteers, and historically have used mostly volunteer coaches. In recent years we have been growing our program by offering more winter training opportunities, and coaching stipends to try to attract and develop better coaches. More training time and more skilled coaches will mean more development and growth for our players - and we want that for them. To help with budgeting, we have introduced an installment payment option you will see at checkout when you register. This will spread your season fees across 4 payments instead of having to pay all at once. If you need financial support or if you have any questions about these changes, please email us at info@richfieldsoccer.org.

Thank you as always for your support of RSA!!
