Here's some helpful information.

 

The River City Rangers Soccer Club is a competitive soccer program committed to providing the highest quality environment for
Select players grounded in the philosophy of “For the Player.” By providing the best coaches and training facilities in Central
Austin, we focus on our most important goal: the growth and development of the individual player, both on and off the field. The
Rangers is a nonprofit organization of experienced coaches and dedicated volunteers, all of whom strive to help players
achieve their full potential as athletes and individuals. Ranger teams are selected annually at tryouts in May.

 

  • Rangers Select Soccer is a year-long commitment that includes the Fall and Spring soccer seasons running from June, 2023
    through May, 2024.
  • Rangers Select teams are coached by experienced, licensed, professional coaches.
  • U11-U14 age group teams participate in the Superleague of Austin, and games are played against teams from the local
    Austin area.
  • U15-U19 teams participate in WDDOA (Prime, Challenger, and Alpha flights) and CAYSA Division 2, and games are
    played in the greater Austin area (for CAYSA D2) and can extend to the greater San Antonio area (for WDDOA)
    depending on the level of play/teams entered in each flight.
  • U11 and U12 teams play 9v9 format and carry 12-16 players per team.
  • U13-U19 teams play 11v11 format and carry 14-22 players per team.
  • Twice a week team training for the fall season starts the first week of August for all Select teams.

    U14 teams resumes in mid-January and continues until tryouts in late May/early June.
  • U15-U19/High School age teams train through the fall until the late November/early December when high school soccer
    tryouts and training begin. Coaches offer 1X per week optional pool training for our U15-U19 players from mid-January
    until tryouts at the end of May.
  • Team training consists of 2 X 1.5hour sessions per week on either a Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday schedule.
    Training schedules are determined following tryouts and team formation.
  • All Ranger teams train in Central Austin at St. Louis Catholic Church, 7601 Burnet Rd.

    The fall season consists of 10-12 games. The spring season consists of 8-10 games, with the U15-U19 teams playing a
    shorter spring game schedule of 6-8 games due to their later start.
  • Teams can play 1-2 tournaments per year as determined by the coach with input from parents. Rangers teams generally
    play tournaments in the greater Austin or San Antonio area.
