Select Soccer Fact Sheet
2005-2006

Teams:
CGSA will have annually selected Select Soccer Teams for both boys and girls in every age bracket U-11 to U-19. There are on occasion seasons when a particular age or gender will not have a team. It is expected that once a player is selected and agrees to play that he or she is committed to the team for the year i.e. fall and spring season.

Cost:
$275 per season which covers GYSA registration and CGSA registration, coaching fee and team camp that will be held August 1st through August 5th.

Travel:
On average, CGSA select teams have 4 or 5 away games. These away games are usually in the metro Atlanta area but can be anywhere in the state GA. CGSA request that the away games be played as a Saturday/Sunday pair so that the teams only need to make two or three road trips.

Coaching:
The CGSA Director of Coaching assigns the select coaches for each team. All of our select coaches are USSF licensed with most holding a “D” or better license.

Schedules:
The regular fall season will run from early September to mid November. The regular spring season will run from early March to mid May. Team tryouts are held early June.

Tournaments:
Each select team is required to go to one pre-season tournament in the fall. This fall the teams will be going to one of four tournaments, Atlanta Kohs's Cup, Greensboro Nike Shootout and Jacksonville Shootout on Labor Day weekend or South Charlotte Cup on Aug. 20 & 21. The Select U-15 and above are required to attend the Savannah Senior Cup November 12 &13. The Select teams U-14 and below are required to attend the Savannah Select Cups in January. The cost for all tournaments is not included in the registration fee and is handled by the team manager.
