Challenge Division

League Philosophy

At any Division within KYSL you will find a solid foundation to provide a commitment to excellence. Challenge is a step up from Recreation Soccer. At this level there is a higher level of commitment, due to travel and tournaments. Players are selected through a combination of try-outs and coaching assessment. Try-outs are open to all players for their appropriate age group.

KYSL's efforts on promoting the Leagues Philosophy focuses on the following:

• Encouraging a healthy attitude toward sports and mannerly actions at all times.
• Providing a fun and rewarding soccer experience for all.
• Furnishing an environment of good sportsmanship.
• Giving each player the opportunity to develop a solid foundation of soccer.
• Promoting a greater appreciation for soccer and its benefits.
• Ensuring that each child is participating and has an equal amount of playing time.

All players who come to practice and practice properly are entitled to play at least one half of every game. It is the intent of NTSC that all players be given equal playing time throughout the season (50% rule). The only exceptions occur when, (a) in case of sickness or injury, (b) if the player consistently misses scheduled practices, and (c) disciplinary reasons; such as disrespectful attitudes and/or behaviors or non-participation in practices.
