Spokane Sounders

U11 Premier/U10 Play-up Soccer

SSC Shadow U11 Select Soccer

Mike Pellicio serves as the Spokane Sounders U11  & U10 Play-up age group Director.  Mike will conduct club-wide team training sessions with the assistance of our licensed, credentialed and experienced coaches.   

The Spokane Sounders boasts the most experienced coaching staff in the region and the U11 & U10 Play-up program will follow a seasonal curriculum that teaches possession-oriented soccer.  The club wide philosophy of building from the back, moving the ball through the midfield at speed with short combination and attacking in large numbers will be a major feature of the U11 curriculum.

Your player will be exposed to a variety of coaches throughout their Spokane Sounders career, all of whom follow club philosophy and teach their teams to play the same way.  Children are exposed to a variety of teachers on their academic path and the same is true for our Spokane Sounders players.

For more information contact Mike Pellicio.

Our select teams are coached by volunteer coaches with various levels of coaching experience.  Some have certifications and high school or college playing experience. 

We offer unique benefits that other Select soccer programs do not:  a licensed Director of Coaching guides our volunteer coaches.  They receive active information that flows from the Premier side of the club to them, following similar philosophies and emphases.

Spokane Sounders U11 and U10 play-up teams compete in  INW Copa League (US Club). At this age, we still play 9v9 and keep our top players playing with their local teammates in the Valley, North and South.  At U13, when we fully integrate the Valley, North and South teams, we leave local league in search of a more competitive environment through the Regional Club League. 
Our focus is on the developement of the complete player and the training environment and integration of club philosophy is our highest priority at this level.  These features separate our club from others in the Greater Spokane area at this age.

Compete in the local league which could be with Idaho State League (US Youth) or INW Copa (US Club).

Our focus is on development of the player; therefore, the training environment is our highest priority at this level.  This environment is what separates our club from others in the Greater Spokane area.

Spokane Sounders U11 Premier  and U10 play-up teams practice nine to ten months of the year between Dwight Merkel Sports Complex, Plantes Ferry,  South Complex and Cravens Sportsplex.  Twice weekly trainings with one those being with the U11 Program Director. 

We have an “open” practice policy.  For players who desire more training, they are welcome to attend other Premier/RCL team practices.

SSC Shadow U11 Select train in the area of town in which they live:

Northside = SSC Shadow United Select
Southside and Spokane Valley = SSC Shadow Elite Select

Our Select teams train 6-8 months of the year.  Tournament participation by teams is optional.

Spokane Sounders Premier brings with it an expectation that the players really want to play soccer and be around others that share this desire. Players who like competing and want to be challenged to be better by their teammates and their coaches will find a perfect fit in Spokane Sounders Premier.

Select soccer is for the player looking for a more competitive level of play than Recreational soccer.

This level of play provides continued opportunities for players to play the game with others that have similar levels of ability and desire.

The financial differences to play premier soccer comes down to the services provided.  Premier coaches are licensed professionals and are paid a stipend.
