The Recreation Player Development Program has the following goals:
- Identify talented players in the recreation program for ages U-10 and below.
- Develop a pool of potential players for future Select (Division 3) and Competitive (Division 1) teams.
- Offer training opportunities through the regular season and additional training after the season is complete.
Eligible Players
Any player currently playing recreation soccer for Fair Oaks Soccer Club in the U-10 and U-8 Division 4 (Recreation) teams.
Player Nominations
Players will be nominated by current U-10 and U-8 recreational coaches.
Guidelines for player nominations will be developed by the FOSC Select Board.
There will be no limit to the number of players a coach can nominate as long as the players nominated meet Select Board criteria.
Coaches players have automatic nomination to avoid coaches favoritism.
Player Selection for ARYSL Playdates
Only limited number of players will be selected to play on the weekend play dates with the other clubs.
With 29 - U8 and U10 teams, there is a potential of having over 100 players nominated to play at the Friday clinic. FOSC may be limiited to only a couple teams worth of players to play at the ARYSL Play Dates in November and January.
