The Competitive program has two sessions or seasons, fall and spring. Team practices are typically held three nights per week for at least 90 minutes.

Each season includes eight games, four in Stoughton and four in communities in the Madison Area Youth Soccer Association (MAYSA) region. These communities are in Dane and adjacent counties and usually require less than an hour of travel in one direction. Games are typically held on Saturdays or Sundays, but occasional weeknight games are a possibility.

Competitive teams participate in one or more weekend tournaments in any given fall or spring season.

Competitive teams (11U+ only) play at a higher level of competition than recreational teams, involve a greater level of commitment in terms of practices and tournaments, and entail higher costs.

Teams are formed using tryouts and player evaluations and are led by coaches with higher levels of licensure. Tryouts are usually held in early June (to inform team formation for the following fall season) and are announced to the club in advance.

See our FAQ for current registration fees. There is an added cost for primary and secondary kits (jerseys and shorts). Socks, shin guards, and cleats are also required. Competitive fees are greater than recreational fees to accommodate the higher costs of maintaining the program, including tournament participation.
