SC WAVE WALWORTH SELECT PROGRAM OVERVIEW
To provide SC Wave Walworth players with the opportunity to improve their soccer skills in order to play and achieve success at the highest competitive levels.
TEAM STRUCTURE
SC Wave Walworth will offer select teams for boys and girls beginning at the U-11 age level and ending at the U-19 age level. The purpose of the select team program is to provide instruction, skill development and competition to those players who possess a higher level of soccer skills and a desire to play at this level. Players and parent commitment to the team, practices, games, etc., are high.
TRYOUTS
SC Wave Walworth holds tryouts in June to evaluate players and organize teams. The final number of teams in each age group is determined by the number of players trying out and selected. The tryouts are coordinated by the Director of Coaching from SCW Walworth who will evaluate and select players along with club coaches, and other qualified personnel. Players are not guaranteed a position on any team because they played on that team the previous season.
For tryouts, the athletes will participate in an organized session of technical drills, and small-sided games designed to test and demonstrate each player's technical ability and skills. Parents are asked to leave the field and training area while tryouts are taking place.
SC Wave Walworth will notify all players trying out of their selection status at the deadline set by WYSA via this website.
PLAYING TIME/ CHANGING TEAMS
The SC Wave Select program has no rule concerning playing time. Each coach has the right to award playing time based upon player skills, game situations, player attitude, conduct on and off the field and attendance at practice and games.
The only time that players change teams is during the tryout period. Once teams have been chosen, concerns regarding players changing teams should be addressed with the Director of Coaching. Only the SC Wave Directors of Coaching may determine if a player should be allowed to change teams at any other time. The State Association has also developed guidelines and policies for transfers from one club to another. Please see the state association website for transfer policies.
TEAM COMPOSITION
SC Wave U11 - U12 teams may carry up to 15 players, U13 to U-14 teams may carry up to18 players, U15 and higher level teams may carry as many as 22 players. SC Wave will employ the use of club passes to develop younger players, enhance team numbers when the need arises and to help teams remain competitive in their league placements.
SELECT PLAYER EXPECTATIONS
SC Wave recognizes the diversity in players and skill levels in the make up of its soccer teams. It also takes different levels of commitment that some parents and players may not be accustomed to fulfilling. Belonging to an SC Wave Select team is more than a casual commitment.
SC Wave believes in academics before club activities. Once involved with a SC Wave team players can be expected to participate in two or three practices per week, seven to ten regular season games, three to five tournaments per season, and an optional indoor session. High school aged students who only participate in half a year club soccer season along with indoor are the only exception.
SC Wave encourages all players at the select level to compete in more than one sport. We believe this will enhance their overall athletic ability and love for the game of soccer. However, all club-organized activities take precedent over all other non-high school sports. Please talk with your coach prior to accepting any offer to verify potential conflicts are acceptable. We do make exceptions for younger age groups, and high school seniors.
INDOOR SOCCER/FUTSAL GUIDELINES
All SC Wave teams are encouraged to participate in indoor soccer/futsal during the winter months. These leagues and training should be used to develop player technical skills and support team concepts for the outdoor season. The SC Wave also encourages everyone to use the SC Wave name when participating in indoor soccer/futsal sessions. Winter options vary and the cost of these programs is not included in Select fees.
YELLOW AND RED CARDS
Receiving a yellow or red card in a game is a serious issue at SC Wave. The issuing of yellow and red cards are used to maintain control of the game. A yellow card from the referee is used as a warning and the player may or may not have to leave the field of play until the next available substitution. A second yellow card in one game is equal to a red card ejection a red card is a more severe penalty and means that the player or coach must leave the game and playing area immediately and cannot play or coach in the next game. The club reserves the right to additionally penalize those receiving red cards for more than just one game.
