Camino Total del Jugador: Phase 3

El Seleccionar Programa para Jóvenes is for travel-level teams and athletes. These teams/pools participate in local leagues such as Northern Illinois Soccer League (NISL), Illinois Women’s Soccer League (IWSL), y/o, pero no limitado a Central Illinois Youth Soccer League (CIYSL). In this phase of the Camino Total del Jugador, individuals are challenged to prepare for the Premier and ECNL level that follows. Players must attend a tryout to be evaluated and then are placed on the appropriate level team based on their abilities. Since this is still part of our Grassroots program, cuts are rarely made, and we can usually find a place for every player that wants to play for Eclipse.

Beneficios

Competition at this level is primarily local and in-state and combined with in-state weekend tournaments.  Teams are seeded in these leagues’ various divisions based on their level of players. It is always Eclipse’s goal to place these teams with groups of teams that are similar in level of play to ours, to maximize the balance between learning and having fun.

The quantity and depth of leagues and divisions make it possible for all soccer players to have an appropriate level to compete at, and the ability to grow and develop to reach their highest level of competition.

NISL’s mission is that all soccer-related decisions should be made with the player in mind. They are are interested in the development of youth soccer, not “the politics”. Their office staff consists of players and coaches that believe in creating and maintaining a league that is focused on the development of the players at various levels and providing a competitive and equal playing field. They believe the NISL should be governed by simple administrative procedures that provide players, teams, and clubs flexibility in the player development process. The NISL will create, develop, and foster the growth of club and community soccer programs throughout the Chicago Metropolitan Area and surrounding states.
