Shadow United U12-U18 Select

| Coaching |
Licensed, credentialed and experienced coaches. Our staff has a long history of soccer; most assuredly as players but also as coaches. They bring enthusiasm and an infectious love for the game. Our coaches are a vital part of the club; they see their duty as training and developing players. Your son/daughter will be exposed to
a variety of coaches through their Shadow
career, which enhances their overall experience. This is a critical strength of our club. Children
are exposed to a variety of teachers on their academic path; the same will be the case for
our Shadow players.

Volunteer coaches with various levels of coaching experience. Some have certifications and high school or college playing experience. We offer unique benefits that other Select soccer programs do not: a licensed Director of Coaching guides our volunteer coaches. They receive active information that flows from the Premier side of the club to them, following similar philosophies and emphases. |

| Player Expectations |
Shadow Premier brings with it an expectation
that the players really wants to play soccer at a competitive level focused on competitive growth
and development. They do NOT have to specialize
in soccer; playing other sports is encouraged. Players that like competing and want to be pushed
to be better by their teammates and their coaches will find a perfect fit in Shadow Premier.
|
Select soccer is for the above average player looking for a more competitive level of play than Recreational soccer.
|
| Cost |
The financial difference to play Premier soccer
comes down to the service provided. Premier Soccer coaches are paid a stipend, thus Club
dues for U12-U18 Premier are $925. Shadow’s coaching staff is selected based on the highest standards - the most important part being
adults we can entrust with our children that
have the playing experience and coaching credentials to help players attain the highest levels of development. We have proven
success in doing just that.
Additional expenses are incurred for uniforms, tournaments and travel in Eastern Washington. |
