Season: The team season will start in February and go until August.

Indoor: Two days a week of soccer training at indoor facility from February -April and one day of soccer specific training in a gym facility or a classroom session for study time/video review. This will allow players to work on footwork, agility, awareness, creativity and other soccer specific skills.

Outdoor: Four to five days of soccer training. The training session are competitive and are developed to improve player abilities. Training will be held at a Rochester training field (to be determined) and RCTC Stadium. Training days are decided by the coach. Recommended training days are Mondays-Thursdays with games on weekends.

Games: We will plan on attending 5-6 tournaments (25-30 games) from April-July. These tournaments could be in Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin and Illinois. Decisions on tournaments and locations on tournaments are with the coach of the team. Coach may schedule a meeting with parents/athletes to get input on location of tournaments. Additional exhibition games will be scheduled with academy teams. This would include 5- 8 additional games.

Uniforms: The athletes will be provided with home/away uniforms, training shirt and shorts and a backpack. This cost for the uniforms will be determined soon. This will be covered separately through our Adidas/Soccer.com store. We estimate this cost to be $250-$300 for two seasons.

Activities: Teams will have gatherings together and participate in activities outside of soccer. This will help the players meet our semi-professional players and other players in our programs. All youth players have free entrance to our semi-professional team games that will be held at RCTC.  

Communication: Team communications will be done through TeamSnap and email on occasion.

Coaches: Coaches will be determined once the teams have been finalized. All of our coaches are experienced and solely dedicated to their individual teams.
