What is Competitive?
Competitive soccer with the Hobe Sound Soccer Club is more competitive soccer. Players must try-out and be selected to be part of the team. The competitive teams are called Strikers, and are part of the Hobe Sound Soccer Club. Competitive soccer players are selected by a group of coaches, trainers and club officials based on speed, skills, attitude and fitness. Rules governing competitive soccer are different than those for recreational soccer. For example, recreational players are guaranteed game playing time each game. The competitive team will always strive to get all players playing time, but determination of playing time is made based upon how the player can contribute to the team. There is an increased concern for outcome, but player development, discipline, fitness and fun are also goals of the program. Commitment by players to do their best is expected. Players must commit to the team and participate in all team activities.
