The Jerseyville Strykers Soccer Club is CONSIDERING expanding our outreach to the high school boys. Parents and players, as you consider your options, please keep in mind the following: 1. The JSSC exists to serve the needs of our local community. 2. JSSC is a non-for-profit organization and our coaches receive very minimal payment for their services to the players. 3. We will play in the Southern Illinois Soccer League's Spring season. That season runs February through May and games are played on the weekends. 4. Based on parent / player desire, we will participate in college showcase tournaments. 5. College scouts attend both league games AND local tournaments, so your future college player will receive good exposure. 6. Jerseyville is a prime community to expand its athletic outreach. When you consider the success that our local high school team has been having over the past two seasons, there is no doubt that Jerseyville is on the radar of college soccer coaches. In addition, Jersey Community High School's academic performance has continued to grow over the past three years. Furthermore, Jersey athletic programs all over campus are witnessing rapid growth in our programs. To put it simply, Jerseyville "has it going on." 7. So, as you consider "apples to apples" with JSSC with other local clubs: A. Same competitive league B. Same college scout opportunities C. ALL high school coaches in the SISL have to have a minimum of a Class D license with the United States National Team's Curriculum. We have five coaches with that license. D. Competitive pricing! Obviously we have the same price schedule for the SISL obligations. Where we become more appealing is through our uniform pricing, our "training fees" - since we do not have hired staff, and our own field maintenance fees. For a complete breakdown, see the attachment below. E. Practice schedule and location will remain local.
Again, parents and players, as you consider your options, please know that the JSSC is here to serve your needs. If you choose to commit to Jersey Strykers Soccer Club, we will promise to provide continued soccer growth in your player that will enable him to excel in the next level of competition.
