Select Teams

RCF SELECT TEAMS

The Select Team program allows advanced players to reach their highest potential and grow their passion for the game. This year-long program provides consistent training with our top-level coaches and will challenge even the most technical players.

Futsal provides unparalleled benefits to player development with increased ball touches, need for speed, control, and quick decision making. Our competitive team trainings, seasonal leagues and tournaments provide the best augmentation to any outdoor season, but we also work to prepare young players for the challenges they face on and off the court. Our goal is to create not only top level soccer & futsal players but also great citizens.

RCF Select Teams are sponsored by Tursi Soccer, the Official Soccer Store of Rose City Futsal!

Q.
What is the tryout and selection process like?
A.
Tryouts are designed to be a low-stress environment for the participants. Players will scrimmage the entire hour while the coaches observe and make notes about which RCF program best suits the player’s abilities and skills; Select Team, Advanced or All Levels programming.

The week after tryouts, the Academy Management team will reach out to each family with an invitation to join the Select Team or a recommendation for Advanced or All Level programming.

We encourage all that are interested to attend. The weekend is a great experience and opportunity for players to play at a high level for an hour as well as see the level of their age group.
