Stellar Select: Further Player Development and Opportunity
Select Approach
Stellar Football Club's philosophy at the Select level is continues the focus on individual player development and tactical team development. This means incorporating the appropriate developmental techniques at the right developmental stages tailored to individual needs. Most importantly travel is limited in favor of more opportunity to develop players and compete locally.
Coaching and Training
Stellar Coaches are composed of experienced players, technical trainers and on field leaders. Our coaches are unique in the sense that all Stellar Coaches are current or former high level players, highly technical trainers and are tactical leaders.
All clubs and levels of play have coaches but not all coaches are qualified to train technical skills, manage games tactically and lead young players with confidence.
If you are evaluating clubs and notice your potential coach is not leading technical sessions, it should be a question. Technical coaches create technical players. There's no substitute. It's how we know our coaches are truly are Stellar.
Competition
At the Academy level we focus our competition internally for the majority of a season and plan to compete monthly in external tournaments. This equates to less weekly travel, more time to develop individually and more flexibility on scaling external competition as needed. We can increase or decrease competition levels regularly. This is also dependent on where our players are and how their team dynamic is developing.
This is where Stellar takes a stand to focus on the player versus the club and registration numbers.
Teams and Tournaments
In-house teams are selected to create the most challenging competition levels and minimizing players in the sideline. Players will compete regularly in our Match Day concept. This is a small-sided + team competition event. This is another feature that differentiator and another concept Stellar is confidently pioneering.
Tournament teams are selected monthly to provide additional opportunity for player competition engagement and levels. Tournament team selection is not guaranteed for every player and largely depends on their individual skill, development, attendance and roster availability.
External Friendlies and Tournaments are planned for the Central Texas region. Competitions outside the region may occur if critical mass and interest exists.
Seasons
Our outdoor soccer program for any seasonal year runs from August through April. We plan for a minimum of two tournaments in the Fall and two in the Spring. Off season are the months between Fall and Spring. In between seasons we do special programming, training, indoor competition and additional tournaments that are not included in regular season fees.
