Year 1

Establish an Advisory Committee for both the men’s and women’s select team programs that would be comprised of individuals representing varying institutions of soccer.  The Advisory Committee’s objectives would be:

  • to develop and guide a pooling process for players

  • to identify coaches for training

  • to identify locations for training

  • to identify a head coach

  • to determine a selection process

  • to identify playing opportunities for teams

  • to help foster a core program that will continue into year 2.

 

Year 2

The program will cycle its process into a second year to further develop and guide the pooling process for players toward the formal establishment of an organized team that will compete in the Region III Select Tournament.

 

Year 3

The program will cycle its process into a third year to formalize the pooling and selection process of players in North Carolina toward the formal establishment of an exceptionally organized team that competes in the Region III Select Tournament and advances players to the National Festival.
