Pride, Passion, Performance. Our aim is to educate young players as to how hard they can train and how well they can perform. We do this by providing a positive, enthusiastic environment that fosters a love for the “beautiful game” and that exposes our male players to the high intensity training that challenges players of all developmental levels. We strive to show each and every male player that he can reach a new level of performance through belief and hard work.

 

We seek to provide a training environment that allows each and every player to experience a sense of pride in themselves, their team, and the club itself. Through constant interaction with the Stingers’ staff and other Stingers’ players, we will help to build life-long friendships and leave each and every Stingers male with a positive feeling and a sense of achievement.

 

U11-U14 Boys teams play two seasons (fall and spring) and high school boys U15-U18 teams play club soccer in the spring and summer. Many Stingers players choose to participate in additional skills clinics, camps, and training.

 

Coaches decide how much playing time a player gets during games, which is dependent on attendance at practices, commitment, performance, attitude, and effort. The Elite Stingers teams place a higher emphasis on playing time based on performance and ability. For a detailed description of the Stingers playing time policy, please download the Club’s Handbook from our website.

 Player Pathways

Elite teams represent the top 15-16 players in each age group. The emphasis for Elite teams is on developing players for the highest levels of competition and, therefore, they train with the Stingers professional coaching staff three times per week, attend a preseason team camp and have a high expectation of commitment to training. Elite level players demonstrate the athleticism, commitment, maturity, drive, and character to become top level high school and college soccer players.

Example of Elite team participation:

 

The focus of our Advanced teams is the development of players looking for advanced professional training, competitive “travel” soccer and desire to compete at the appropriate competitive level. Youth soccer players develop physically, athletically, and technically at different rates. Many Elite Stingers players begin their competitive soccer at the Advanced level.

Example of Advanced team participation:

 U11-U18 Recreational Soccer-aka “Inter-league Teams”

The focus of our Recreational teams is to offer those players who do not wish to commit to the demands of an advanced program with an enjoyable option to continue playing soccer. Recreational teams play in both the fall and spring, participating in either an 8 or 10 game season, depending on the level of play the team participates in.
