The Select Program is designed to help players who are more developed in their skills and continue to develop through practices with professional coaches and trainers and competitions against other select club teams. The emphasis is more competitive in nature than the recreational program. This program operates as part of Georgia State Soccer Association(GSSA). Our youth players’ ages U13-U19 will test their skills against opponents of similar ability and travel to games and tournaments in the Atlanta Metro area as well as in other states and regions. As such, the Select Program requires a larger investment of time and financial resources.

Select Team Player Selection and Team Formation
- All
Santos teams playing in ages U13-U19 will be considered select/travel soccer. All players must attend tryouts to be selected to any RSC team playing select/travel soccer.
- If there are enough players to form several teams, then tryouts will be held to form one Blue, Red and/or White teams as the number of players allows.
- Coach of the team designated as the Blue Coach will select players first. Red Coach selects second. White Coach selects third.
- All decisions are final when all coaches are in agreement of final player selections.
- Each coach must make team selections based on the RRPD 50%
Roswell residency rule. Clearly stated this rule says that every team must have at least 50% of their roster comprised of players that live within the City limits of
Roswell . The 50/50 rule applies to each team and not the entire age group. For more information on this rule contact the RRPD staff.
- Head coaches of the blue team will, at his/her discretion choose, the number of players she/he desires at tryouts by the end of the third day of this tryout. The totals selected should be no less than 14 players and no more 18 players. Coaches must select enough players to field a complete team.
- Coaches may remove players from consideration at the end of each try-out day as well as extend verbal offers at the end of each try-out day to player he/she wants to add to the team.
