Player-Focused Approach
Where & When We Practice
Where & When We Practice
TYSC provides a player-focused developmental approach that develops a soccer player's technical, tactical, physical, and mental abilities at a higher level of competition. Challenge-level soccer requires more of a commitment from the player than recreational-level soccer, but is not "win at all costs." Each team is coached by long-time, YMCA volunteer coaches.

Challenge-level teams are created through a tryout process with a strict maximum roster. Tryouts in both Southern and Northern Wake County are typically at the end of May to form new teams or add players to existing teams. Teams may have a supplemental tryout in the winter to add players depending on roster size. For more information, contact your local TYSC director listed below.
