EOSC teams playing in regional leagues...
What is League Soccer?
East Orange Soccer Club offers players between the ages of 10 and 19 the opportunity to play ’league soccer’ out-of-house (in regional and state-wide leagues where EOSC teams play teams from around the local region and from around the state) with teams managed by parent volunteers and coached by parent volunteers, volunteer and/or paid coaches and/or trainers.
What are the differences between teams designated: ’Recreational-C’, ’Competitive-B’ and ’Premier-A’ level?
EOSC has multiple teams playing in each age group for ages U10 through U16 age group. The level at which a team participates in the local inter-club league is determined by the Head Coach, in consultation with players, the Team Manager and the Director of Player and Coach Development. Priority is assigned to the Head Coach in each age group based on ’team seniority’ for player selection at competitive and premier tryouts. Players are selected for the premier and then the competitive team by rank. A team is typically ’declared’ to play at a particular level, and a team playing at a particular level will typically have the following features:
