Welcome to Jacksonville Area Soccer
Association Select Program! JASA Select Program is an endeavour to provide the
greater Jacksonville area and Onslow County with a quality and affordable
Competitive Soccer experience. Select
soccer is a higher level of competition as compared to recreation soccer and
requires dedication from the players and parents. Our Select program focuses on
growth and development of our players and teams. This level of play starts at
U10 and carries through U18. JASA Select coaches hold the appropriate level
North Carolina Youth Soccer Association license for the age bracket they are
coaching. Select soccer will develop the player’s technical skills, tactical
knowledge and incorporate teamwork strategies.
Try-outs are annual open try-outs and held
during the end of May. Select try-outs are conducted at the same time as the
Classic Try-outs and usually are conducted over a 2 day period. We highly
recommend that players attend both days. All players are highly encouraged to
attend. Players are notified of their selection by the posting of their try-out
numbers on the JASA webpage and also a phone call from the coach. When a player
accepts a position on a Select/Classic team, they are expected to attend all
team functions. Boys and Girls are separate divisions and ages are from U10-U18. U11-U14 G/B Teams play in both
the Fall and Spring seasons, while teams in the U15-18G only play in the Fall
and U15-18B only play in the Spring.
Lastly, supplemental try-outs may be
offered if there are available positions on a team.

season. Additional cost includes: uniforms (two jerseys, two pair of socks and
a pair of shorts), carrying bag, two tournament fees and travel cost.
Practice/Regular season: Training
sessions usually last 1 1/2 to 2 hours and are conducted two to three times a

seasons throughout NCYSA and additionally are required to compete in two
outdoor soccer tournaments. Coaches will determine dates and locations of these
tournaments and pass the information to the parents.
Playing Time: Select soccer is
competitive and playing time is earned. JASA encourages a minimum of 10 minutes
of playing time per half per player. This rule does not apply to tournament
play. Tournament playing time is determined by the coach.
