What is ACT (or Challenge or VIP)?
ACT means Advanced Competition Team. ACT players must try out and be selected for the team. Players selected for an ACT team play on their regular season AYSO team and the ACT team for tournaments. ACT teams play in tournaments in the Fall after the regular season ends, sometimes in February between seasons, and in the Spring after the regular season ends. There are a few ACT team practices in addition to regular team practice, so there is a bigger time commitment with the player on 2 teams. ACT practices and activities may not conflict with regular season activities. ACT tryouts are held in late September and early October each year. Challenge teams play in the Duke City Metro League. Players must tryout to play on a Challenge team. The Challenge team plays together all season long and may also play in tournaments in the Fall and Spring. Players must be 10 or older to enter the Challenge Teams program. There are additional expenses for players on Challenge teams that parents must pay,
