Competitive Program
Updated January 2010
What are the Competitive teams?
The 'Competitive' teams (formerly Division III or Class III) are for soccer players in Under-12 to Under-19 age groups who want a more serious level of play than in the Recreational program. ABSC holds open tryouts for ABSC Competitive teams, and all interested players are invited to participate.
Teams are formed through required tryouts. Players attending tryouts may be invited to join a team, and may accept or decline the invitation. See tryouts schedule at upper right.
See our FAQ's on what to expect at tryouts.
Fall season runs from August through November or January, and Spring season runs from March through mid-June. Practices are two days per week and games are on Saturdays and/or Sundays.
Games can be as far as 30 to 45 minutes away, and tournaments may involve weekend travel.
Team requirements:
* coach with a level E license;
* $150 per-team fee (separate from player reg fees);
* three Grade-8 referees (5-game minimum each);
* team manager who will handle administrative tasks for the team.
Not all teams require the same level of commitment (e.g., travel to tournaments), and interested families should check with the coach regarding the expected level of commitment when the player is invited to join a team.
Contact registrar Karen Steinmeyer with questions about signing up with ABSC for a Competitive team.

What are the Mavericks?
The 'ACC Mavericks' or 'Division I' is a competitive program offered by the league to which ABSC belongs, the Alameda-Contra Costa Youth Soccer League (ACCYSL). These teams are not formed by ABSC, but rather by the Mavericks program within ACCYSL. Check the ACCYSL website for more info on requirements, costs and commitment level.
