Classic Soccer
Classic soccer teams under
15 years of age play both a Fall and Spring
season. If selected to a Classic team, the player is expected to play both seasons.
Players 15 years and older usually play one season per year: Girls play in the
Fall and boys play in the Spring, opposite to their school playing seasons.
Each season lasts around 10 weeks with most games scheduled on the weekends.
Teams play between 7-11 games per season, meaning there are usually that many “game”
weekends. A team may also choose to attend any number of tournaments during its
season, both in and/or out of the state of North Carolina.
Players are required to attend a minimum of two 90-minute team training
sessions a week and are encouraged to attend any additional weekly skills
sessions if offered. Players are expected to attend a team camp prior to the
opening of their season, as well as any winter and/or summer training
opportunities as well. Failure to attend team practices can result in loss of
playing time. There is no guaranteed amount of playing time at the Classic
level. Classic soccer is the most competitive level of soccer offered by HCSA.
