U19

Most U19 players are typically Freshman in college. DASC is excited to be able to offer those players a soccer environment when they return from college. Below is some information about our U19 competitive program.

If you are a U19 player who is currently in high school, you can participate in the training and match up league games with the U18 program. Please see the U15-U18 Competitive tab on the left to view information and cost associated with the U18 age group.

Philosophy for U19 DASC teams

Age group philosophy; emphasis on team preparation for developmentally appropriate competitive events.  May include but not limited to college showcase events, top tier competitive tournaments and Regionals.  

 

Team Formation:

Ideally, the club would like to organize teams of 16 - 18 players.  Number of teams is based on the number of players that come to tryouts.  The club would like to put together teams based on ability (A, B and C).  The club would like to have only one team participate at state cup for each of these age groups.  Each team will be managed and trained by a head coach assigned by the organization.

 

Spring / Summer

~ 4 weeks / ~ 12 to 16 training sessions
