Select Program

Birth Years 2018-2012 (U8-14) Eligible For Fall Select Program; Birth Years 2018-2007 (U8-19) Eligible For Spring Select Program

Northern Soccer Club’s Select Program is for committed girls and boys ages U8–U19 to play at a competitive level. It is an elite program for teams and players to compete in a competitive level of league play in New Mexico. Players train under experienced coaches and compete in the Duke City Soccer League, in regionally competitive travel tournaments, and local indoor/outdoor leagues. Training takes place at Municipal Recreation Complex soccer fields and various fields throughout the city of Santa Fe; games are primarily held in Bernalillo. The intent of the Select Program is to place the most developed players in Northern New Mexico on competitive teams.

Select teams practice 2-3 times a week and play at least 8 DCSL games and 2 in-state tournaments per season.

Financial scholarship is available.
