Metro (or
Select) is a level of soccer between recreational and competitive. The league
offers an environment for dedicated and skilled players to develop and play.
Metro (Select) is classified as Division 3 youth soccer (recreational teams are
Division 4). The difference between Metro (Select) and Recreational is the
opportunity for the team to participate in tournaments. Those teams that
participate in tournaments will play more than ten (10) games during the
season. Metro teams require a Head Coach and an Assistant Coach. Head Coaches
must have obtained at least an "E" level coaching certificate and Assistant
Coaches must have obtained at least an "F" level coaching certificate. Either
the head or assistant coach that appears on the team's CYSA roster must be a
currently certified USSF Referee. Players who are interested in a higher level
of play and competition may contact the Metro coordinator of any of the Clubs
for information about next year's season. More information about the Metro
Soccer Program can be found by clicking on the Metro link on the left side of
this page. If you do not find the information you need, please contact the
metro coordinator by e-mail at
metro@greenhavensoccer.com.
