The FME Select Program gives players an opportunity to play at a more competitive level over the recreational program.
Key differences between the select and recreational programs
Competitiveness
Select players play at a higher level of competition
Team formation
Coaches and evaluators select which players can play on a team
Tryouts
Players must attend tryouts (held on multiple days) to be considered by coaches and evaluators to play on a team
Age levels
Select age levels start at U11, with a development level for U10
Travel
Select teams typically travel farther to play in league games (due to competition levels)
Participation in tournaments
Select teams are required to play in tournaments at their own cost - recreational teams can play in jamborees/tournaments but aren't expected/required
to.
Costs (2020-2021 Season)
U10- $275, U11-U19 $295 (*Add'l team fees may be required by coach)
