The competitive program is the highest division of soccer competition in the state. It is performance oriented approach where the competition is taken seriously. Win/loss records are taken into account, although player development is still one of the primary goals of the competitive program. Learning to be the best you can be and work together towards the success of the team is often best learned in a competitive sports environment. Competitive soccer is an opportunity for dedicated soccer players to improve and develop their skills beyond the recreational levels while having fun. 
Competitive soccer teams are formed on the basis of player identification and selection. The primary resource of player selection is the annual club tryouts. A tryout is the opportunity for a player to showcase themselves in order to be selected to a team for competition in leagues, tournaments, travel and state cup. Before you can play on a competitive team you must first attend a tryout.
