Player Development Curriculum       

The primary goals of North Shore United are player development and creating an environment that encourages our players to remain with the club as they progress to higher, more competitive levels. The coaches will emphasize player development, while teaching strategy and tactics that lead to winning.  We want players to learn soccer skills and develop the stamina, self-discipline, and confidence to play soccer at a high level.

What is expected of my child?

Soccer is a team sport and requires a commitment from all players on the team to attend training and games, and work hard together to improve both the individual and team level of play. Your child will be expected to attend training and games regularly - missing either only occasionally.

Season
Select Teams are together all year from August 1 to June 15.  

Fall Season: August - mid November
Winter Training: November - March
Spring Season: Late March( weather permitting) through June tryouts

Training Schedule
Competitive team sessions are 1.5 hours, 3 times per week.

Games
Teams play 7 to 9 league games in the WYSA State League, SECL League, Midwest Conference Regional League or Elite 64 League. Our SECL teams play within the great-metro Milwaukee area and SL teams will have some opponents in the Madison and/or Appleton area. If you are placed on an U13 or older E64 team, USYS MWC team, or National League PRO team, there are regional play and showcase events.  Ask for more details please.

Tournaments
Teams participate in 2-3 tournaments in the Fall Season and 2-3 tournaments in the Spring Season. Teams could travel to tournaments during spring break and/or holiday weekends.

Club-wide designated tournaments will be attended by all appropriate competitive teams. One tournament each season will likely involve weekend overnight travel. 

Uniforms

Details on ordering will be emailed to you after an offer is extended.  Additional gear like backpacks and warmups can be ordered at: Stefan's Soccer Supply: http://www.stefanssoccer.com/

Tryouts

Tryouts will be held June 12-16, 2023 for birth years 2013-2009 and June 19-June 22, 2023 for birth years 2008-2005.  See the TRYOUTS page for details.   Pre-registration is done online.  We suggest your player attend both sessions for their age group, so the coaches are able to fully evaluate each player.

Offers will be emailed to players and the coaches will follow up with phone calls.  These offer dates are mandated by Wisconsin Youth Soccer so NO clubs should be making offers and accepting registrations before these dates.

Parents will then register their child online, and a mandatory parent meeting will be held shorty after tryouts are over. 

* For 8th grade players on non-year round teams, training(practice only) is an additional $200 (fall for boys, spring for girls). If there is an actual team playing in a league, fees are an additional $400.
