2007 U11 Academy Tryouts

With US Soccer changing the age group classifications, there has been some confusion with when a player can/should enter the U11 Academy. This year, the Academy is open to players born in 2007. We understand that for some players this may cause them to have to make a choice as to whether to continue playing recreational soccer with their classmates OR move on to begin competitive soccer with their age classification.

The Rogue Valley Timbers believe that the foundation established during the Academy year is irreplaceable for players wishing to play competitive soccer and strongly encourage players wishing to move forward in competitive soccer to enter the Academy. The development and growth that take place in this critical year is astonishing.

Players CAN make the decision to remain in recreational soccer and play with their classmates.

Players that were born in 2007 and are entering the fifth grade and are not interested in competitive soccer have the option to continue playing recreational soccer as well. Once we reach "5th grade" recreational soccer, we group teams by 2 year intervals and play in recreational league hosted by Grants Pass Youth Soccer as we do not have enough teams in that age group to continue running an in-house league.

We will host an informational meeting about the Academy and allow for Q&A on Saturday May 20th at 12:00 PM in the bleachers at US Cellular Community Sports Park Stadium Field. We encourage you to attend this meeting and hear the information and have questions answered first hand!
