Welcome to the EWG Soccer Developmental/Competitve Program

Our developmental/competitive program fields both boys and girls teams in all age groups from under 10 to under 19. These teams play teams from other Associations around the region in both league play and tournaments.  Players in the U14 and below age groups must tryout.  Tryouts are typically held after the recreational games on the third or fourth Saturday of the fall rec season.  The date will be posted both at the field and on the web at least three weeks prior to tryouts.  During the tryouts, players rotate through a number of stations and are evaluated on criteria such as speed, ball control, shooting, etc.  Based on these ratings, the coach selects enough players to fill the team roster.  For a full description of this process along with the other rules governing the Strikers program please see our Competitive Rules & Regulations.

Finally, some coaches also choose to enter their teams in indoor soccer leagues and/or outside tournaments. Participation in these is strictly voluntary and choosing not to participate will not affect the child's position on the competitive team. However, please be aware that each of these venues has different roster requirements and the coach may not be able to invite every player to participate. If you are interested in starting a second team to help ensure all players have the opportunity to play, please contact the appropriate coach.

 Congratulations to our 2009 Super Liga champs!
