What is select soccer?

The select soccer program gives training to qualified players and assists them in progressing to play at the highest levels of play available. Both high school and college teams are mainly comprised of players who have demonstrated their ability through the select programs.

What is a select team?

A Seattle United Select team is comprised of up to 18 players who have been chosen in open tryouts. They are players whose skill and dedication are at a level more competitive than may be available to them through club recreational teams.

1. You probably want to play more soccer than some of your friends
2. You like to learn new things

Special Note to Players and Parents

When your son/daughter began playing soccer a few years ago, it was probably on a neighborhood recreational team where everyone had about the same ability. But everyone improves at a different pace. Seattle United Select program exists for the purpose of helping players develop their individual and collective abilities. It is the firm belief of all of the Seattle United/Shoreline that every player should give themselves the opportunity to test those abilities.
