The Comp Prep program builds on and increases a foundation of skills beyond what they have learned in the traditional Recreational program, and provides a similar training and game schedule that players find at the Competitive level.
Comp Prep teams will meet Mondays and Wednesdays for 90 minutes and will have opportunities to play in weekend jamborees throughout the metro. During regular weekly participation, players will rotate between working with coaches, playing games and working with the trainer. If you are interested in coaching, coaches will be screened and will need to meet criteria set by the Director of Coaching for North Metro. Please e-mail the Rec Director for an application at recdirector@northmetrosoccer.org. Coaches will be provided support, training and curriculum material throughout the season.
In this initial year, the Comp Prep registration fee is $90.00 (the same price as the regular Recreational program). The fee includes a uniform similar to Rec, and there will be minimal extra fees collected to attend tournaments and/or jamborees on some weekends (approximately 3) throughout the season.
Comp Prep field size will be the same as U9/U10 Comp fields, there are no referees, and requests to play with friends or specific coaches will not be permitted. The goal of the Comp Prep Program is to provide players, coaches, and parents with training, guidance and preparation for a successful beginning to their ‘career’ in North Metro’s Competitive program. The Comp Prep program shows North Metro’s commitment to player development, coach’s education, and open communication with parents.
