The SouthStars Soccer Club is a thriving youth soccer organization dedicated to nurturing young talent and promoting a passion for the sport. With a strong focus on skill development and teamwork, the club provides a supportive environment for aspiring athletes to grow both on and off the field.

The key distinction between club soccer and recreational soccer lies in their level of competitiveness and structure. Club soccer typically involves more competitive play, higher-level coaching, and organized leagues, while recreational soccer is more focused on casual play and enjoyment for all skill levels without the same level of competition or formal coaching.

Children typically participate in three events per week, although there are instances when this number may rise due to weekend tournaments.

We strive to provide opportunities that are both age appropriate and sensitive to the demands of work and family life. At the younger ages, teams attend two tournaments in the fall and two in the spring. All tournaments are LOCAL. As teams get older, age appropriate tournament selection could involve some travel. Some coaches may choose to do more tournament’s but only in consultation and input from families.

The fees encompass winter training, which includes options for field rental during practices, indoor soccer, or participation in a futsal league. However, attendance during the winter sessions is not mandatory.

Absolutely! We do ask that Soccer is primary in the Fall.

Participation in winter trainings/seasons is voluntary, but for the spring season, we encourage parents to collaborate with the coach to establish availability as early as possible.

Uniforms are on a 2 year rotation.

The coach determines which kits to purchase but this will typically range from $150 to $230. This does not include optional items such as bags or jackets.

In order to maintain affordability compared to other clubs, our coaching staff is entirely composed of volunteers. These volunteers undergo a thorough interview process and are mandated to acquire at least an F-level Soccer coaching license through the Ohio Soccer Association, with background checks conducted for all coaches.

These dates are estimations and based on Coach decisions:

Full-season tryouts, encompassing Fall, Winter, and Spring, are usually conducted in May. Supplementary tryouts are scheduled as required throughout the year, depending on demand. We also create teams exclusively for the Spring season, contingent on interest. For more information regarding Spring or supplemental tryouts, please don’t hesitate to contact us through our contact page or via email at [email protected]. All tryouts require registration from the registration link on the website.

Every participant needs athletics wear, an appropriate sized ball and a water jug.

7v7 and 9v9 teams use a size 4. U9 – U12

11v11 teams use a size 5. U13 and U14

At the beginning of each tryout day, there is a check-in procedure. After checking in, participants will be directed to the designated field, where the coach will conduct the tryout.

Attendance on both days is not mandatory, but it is highly encouraged. Participants will be assessed by the coaching staff based on their performance on the day or days they choose to attend.

Yes, everyone must register and attend at least one tryout date.

Yes. Parents and players are welcome to watch games (all our calendars are public and linked on our Teams pages). Players from outside the club are sometimes invited to attend a training session, but that depends on the age group and timing of the request. If you would like to request to join a training session before tryouts, please contact us through the contact us page or at [email protected].

You can certainly have some time to talk as family about whether to accept a spot or not. Recognize that we may offer more players than we have spots, in which case the first players to accept and pay their deposit will be the ones to keep their spots.

We will play in the MVYSA or the Buckeye Premier League.

Our small soccer club stands out from larger, more expensive clubs in several ways. We prioritize individual player development with a more personalized coaching approach, fostering a sense of community and camaraderie among our members. Additionally, we offer a more cost-effective option for families who want quality soccer training without the hefty price tag associated with larger clubs.

SouthStars SC places a strong emphasis on player development within our intimate club setting. Our dedicated club trainers begin working with players as early as the U11 age group, with the objective of not only preparing them for high school soccer but also nurturing leadership qualities.
