Frequently Asked Questions

Question: What are your Competitive Programs?

Answer: CFSC’s Competitive Programs are broken down into U8 – U10 players (7v7), U11 & U12 players (9v9) & U13 & older players (11v11). The focus is on training & player development and playing time is not guaranteed but rather earned. All players regardless of age are expected to move around from assigned teams depending on their development, objectives & number of players in the programs. For more detailed information please see our Program Comparison.

Question: Are there tryouts? How is player placement handled?

Answer: CFSC believes that there is a place for players of every skill level within the club. As such, there will not be a one-time, “mass tryout” because CFSC’s goal is not to build teams but rather develop players. Looking at individual players for a single session is not valuable. There will be specific weeks dedicated to evaluating players for initial placement into the club as they train alongside current players and even an evaluation period where we look to identify players. However, every player who loves the game is welcome at CFSC and over the first several weeks of training, as coaches are able to evaluate players for a period of time, placements can be made.

Question: Where is training held and where are games played?

Answer: Training sessions are held and games are played at the Northwest Recreational Complex in Apopka.

Question: What league does the Club play?

Answer: None of the programs at CFSC are “league-oriented”. The goal in is to develop the committed player to their potential. Although this is primarily achieved through training, competitive play is needed and used as a tool in development. CFSC’s teams will play in the most competitive events & leagues available which also make sense for the players based on level of play, coaching requirements, travel considerations, etc. Specific events and league play cannot and should not be determined until player commitment and level of play has been determined. The appropriate event and league choice & schedule will be finalized over the summer prior to each seasonal year.

Question: Are Club Players allowed to play for their High School team?

Answer: YES – CFSC recognized the value of playing High School soccer and not only allows, but encourages players in our Programs to play for their High School teams. For more information: CFSC & High School Soccer.
