PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The Geranium City FC Select program is comprised of our U13-U19 players. This is the highest level of our academy and the final step before the women's game.
​
Select players build on everything established in Pre-Academy and Academy, adding the complexity, tactical maturity, and physical demands that high-level soccer requires. We maintain non-negotiable expectations that include commitment, time, and energy.
​
The goal of this program is to prepare every player for the next level. For many, that means college soccer. Our U17 and U19 players have access to our annual College Showcase, which has drawn programs ranging from Division 1 to Junior College. For others, it means stepping directly onto the Geranium City FC first team roster. We have an authentic, local pipeline directly to college here at Geranium City FC.

TRAINING & COMMITMENT
Geranium City FC Academy players are expected to bring full commitment to the program. That means attending all practices and all games, home and away, unless absence has been directly communicated with the coaching staff in advance.
​
This is a competitive academy program. Players and families who are looking for a low-commitment recreational experience will be better served by our rec program through Southern Crescent Soccer.
TRYOUTS & TEAM PLACEMENT
PRE-ACADEMY
Geranium City FC's introduction to competitive soccer for players ages 6-8.
Where the love of the game begins.
Each Player is required to try out for the Select program. There is no guarantee of acceptance to a team. Our goal is to provide everybody access to Club Level soccer, but this is not always possible. Team selection is based on a variety of factors (Skill Level, Attitude, Age, etc.), but most important is how a player fits into the training environment. Some of our age groups have multiple teams that players can be placed on. In these cases, team selection is based primarily on skill level to ensure that each player is getting the appropriate development. Players of this age need to play with kids at a similar level of skill to foster an encouraging and growth-centered training environment. This keeps them on track developmentally, as well.
