Select is the highest level of play at T&C Soccer. It consists of two main programs; Premier and Competitive. All players must tryout for Select teams.
T&C Soccer
Select
Premier
The Premier program is our paid coach Select team model at T&C Soccer. This rapidly growing program sits at the top of our Player Development Pathway along side our Competitive program below. Our Premier teams compete at the highest levels locally and are working to gain access to higher leagues.
T&C Premier teams currently compete in local area leagues in and around the Austin area, as the program grows we plan to have teams competing at higher levels of play such as the National League Frontier Conference and State Classic League. During the Spring season our teams also compete in the various STX Cup competitions (State Cup, Presidents Cup, Directors Cup, South Texas Cup).
