2013 & 2012 Reps pathway

2011 Reps pathway

TCSL Reps Embraces a "Club First" Approach. The program operates during cold-weather months prior to the main club soccer season to conflict as minimally as possible with club schedules. If there is a conflict, players should seek approval from their team coach and/or club director.

Players must play for a TCSL club in a TCSL-sanctioned league such as ECNL RL, NPL, or other TCSL level.

Birth years: 2011, 2012 and 2013. No play ups.

  1. Club directors, in collaboration with staff and coaches, will submit to TCSL a small group of players that they see as suitable for the Reps program.
  2. TCSL then invites these players to Reps Player Trials.
  3. Evaluators score and rank players at 2 days of trials.
  4. TCSL invites players based on these evaluations and forms teams.
 

All players will receive one of the following notifications:

Selected for Event Roster – These top 20 players will be invited to travel to an out-of-state event. They will also participate in the Winter Development Training Program, consisting of 5 training sessions and 4 local games in January and February.
Selected for Winter Development Training Program – Approximately 6-10 additional players who will participate in the Winter Development Training Program, consisting of 5 training sessions and 4 local games in January and February. These players are also the first to be called up should an Event Roster player be unavailable for the out-of-state event.
Not Selected – Players not selected may still be offered the opportunity to participate at a later date in the Winter Development Training Program or on the Event Roster in the case of player injuries, drops, etc. 

2013 (13U) and 2012 (14U) players will attend trials in September. Event Roster players will train leading up to the Midwest Select Games in November (matches against Iowa, Illinois, and Ohio), and will continue with the Winter Development Training Program (training and local matches) in January and February. Winter Development Training Program players will participate in these same trainings and local matches in January and February with the Event Roster players.

2011 (15U) players will attend trials in November (after high school soccer concludes). Winter Development Training Program players will have a series of trainings and local matches in January and February (with Event Roster players). Along with the series of trainings and local matches in January and February, Event Roster players will also participate in a warm weather event in March (likely Phoenix Cup).

Specific age group schedules/calendars available above.
