EYSA To Form U11 Select Teams at the Association Level
The Eastside Youth Soccer Association is pleased to announce the formation of Boys and Girls U11 Select teams for the first time this year. This new program by EYSA is in response to growing demand for Select soccer within the member clubs and the lack of spots to accommodate all the players.
The member clubs that make up EYSA - Bellevue, Mercer Island, Issaquah, Lake Hills and Newport Hills - have had Select teams for a long time. There are usually
enough players trying out to fill at least one Select team in each club, but with U11 roster sizes limited to 14 players (playing a modified 9v9 format), often not enough for additional teams.
EYSA is trialing this program to see if there is interest in a Select team made up of players from the EYSA member clubs. The assumption is that U11 players who don't make their home club's
Select team may be interested in an Association Select team.
Two long-time coaches have been selected to coach the teams - Deena Shouten for the boys team and Andrea Anderson for the girls. Deena is a veteran of the Lake
Hills Soccer Club and recently completed taking her U18 boys team through their final season. Andrea has coached multiple Select teams on Mercer Island as well as coaching both the boys and girls
soccer teams at Renton High School. We are thrilled to have these two experienced coaches helping us launch this program.
The teams will train twice a week in the Bellevue or Mercer Island neighborhoods, depending on the makeup of the teams. The expectation is that that they will enter
at least one summer tournament, play in the North Puget Sound League in the fall, and enter one of the Washington Youth Soccer post-season tournaments at the conclusion of the regular season.
More information on the teams will be available at tryouts. Estimated cost is expected to be $1000-1200 per player, which includes registration fees, uniforms, trainer fees and tournament
expenses.
Tryouts are scheduled for Tuesday, May 21st from 7:15-8:45 and Thursday May 23rd from 7:00-8:30pm. Both tryouts will be held at Bellevue's Robinswood Park. If you have questions, please email registrar@eysa.org.
