Boulder Nova Competitive Soccer provides better coaching and training at less cost than our nearest competition

 

NOVA offers two methods of team formation:

1. Tryouts:  Players of similar skill are placed on teams coached by professional coaches
2. "Intact" teams: Existing teams that want to play competitive soccer together simply register as a team. They do not need to come to tryouts. They may bring their own coach or hire a coach for their team. Intact teams need to contact the office by the start of tryouts.

• Who do I contact for more information?

What teams are formed?

Players will be placed on teams that reflect their current level of ability and development. We rank our teams by the designations Gold, Silver and Bronze with Gold being our top team

The Gold team has the first right to offer positions on their team if openings occur. CYS roster limits teams to eighteen players each, but most coaches prefer sixteen players per team. Coaches decide how much playing time a player gets during games, which is dependent on attendance at practices, attitude and effort. Teams practice two to three times a week. Each team also attends a team camp before the start of the Fall season as well as a pre-season tournament before the Fall and Spring.

How are age levels determined?

Teams are formed age groups not by grades,  For fall 2008 and spring 2009 these age groups are:

Age Group	Born on or between:
U10	1 Aug 98 - 31 Jul 99
U11	1 Aug 97 - 31 Jul 98
U12	1 Aug 96 - 31 Jul 97
U13	1 Aug 95 - 31 Jul 96
U14	1 Aug 94 - 31 Jul 95
U15	1 Aug 93 - 31 Jul 94
U16	1 Aug 92 - 31 Jul 93

 

 

Special Note! U10 players may play on a U11 competitive team if they meet the following conditions:

   1. Player will be in the 5th grade this Fall

   2. The Player played on a U10 team this Spring

 

All older players may play up 2 age groups without permission from CYS
