"Club" or "Select" Soccer is a higher level of training and development for players who are looking to graduate from recreational soccer and further develop their skills. Club Players are selected for teams thru tryouts and are carded with a team for fall and spring seasons. Teams compete in local, state and regional leagues and tournaments depending on age and skill level. For players and families who are used to rec soccer, some of the main difference you will notice are:

• Training - Club teams generally train 2-3 days a week with club training staff. There are pre planned and age appropriate training curriculums based on the teams skill level, age and team needs.
• Coaches and Training Staff - While rec teams are usually coached by volunteer parents, we have paid and licensed coaches and training staff for all teams.
• Cost - Rec soccer fees are generally significantly lower due to very low over head cost. Please see our page about fees for more information HERE.

The Warrior Soccer Club is proud to offers varying levels of training and play for all players based on their age and skill level. From the youngest players just learning to the top elite high school aged players, we have something for everyone. Players begin their journey in the Junior Academy where they will learn skills and build a foundation to move up to one of our select teams. Players in the select program continue to grow and develop in their individual skills while learning to work together as a team. Our top players and teams are moved up into the Elite Program where they receive additional training and compete at the highest levels. 

The Junior Warrior Academy is about introducing area youth ages 4 to 8 to the game of soccer and is instructional in nature.  This is accomplished through fun and games as part of the training done by our All Area High School players and under the direction of our Director of Coaching, Doug Lehman and our Director of Training and Player Development, Tuan Ha. The players are taught fundamental soccer skills that will be a foundation of their technical skills for years to come and introduce them to what club soccer training is like.

The Select Program is for individual players to continue to learn and develop their skills and compete at the local level. Players will train with our licensed staff with a focus on individual players technical ability and team tactics. The Select Program is ideal for players and teams that desire a more competitive environment then rec soccer can offer, but not the schedule and demands our Elite Program teams require. Teams will compete in MVYSA or BPYSL and tournaments that generally require less travel.

• Leagues - MVYSA and lower BPYSL divisions
• Tournaments - 4-6 (depending on age)
• Ohio Cup Series - May compete in Governors Cup if the team desires

The Elite Program is designed for the top players and teams within the Warrior Soccer Club. Players will receive additional training with our licensed club staff and will be expected to train at a higher level. Elite level teams will also receive additional winter indoor training, individualized player evaluations and additional tournament and playing opportunities versus the select program. The Elite Program is designed for players that want to push themselves to be the best and compete at the top level. 

• Leagues - Top BPYSL Divisions, OSSL, GLC
• Tournaments - 6-8 (depending on age)
• Ohio CUP Series - Teams will compete in the Ohio State Cup or Presidents Cup
