The spring select season involves divisions 9U - 16U, and runs from March to May. This is a select league where teams are formed by the coaches and compete at a level considered to be of All-Star or higher caliber. It is mostly comprised of returning Fire (EXTRA) and All-Star teams. Teams may expand roster under Area Q guidelines and region approval.
Spring Select teams may participate in tournaments, including the Area Q Spring Classic Tournament in May.
How to play on a Spring Select team: Players are recommended by current EXTRA, All-Stars, core or other. Teams may expand roster in spring season or fill spots that open up on the team. Typically, this is a continuation of an All-Star or EXTRA team. Player selection is reviewed and approved by the APP Director. However, there is no requirement that a player must have played on an All-Star or EXTRA team to be considered. Spring Select teams may add club soccer players to the roster.
How to coach a Spring Select team: Each returning coach must be in good standing with the region and program guidelines. Coaches that did not coach a returning All-Star or Fire EXTRA team may be asked to complete the APP Head Coach application if new to the region and demonstrate the ability to coach a competitive team under AYSO philosophies and region guidelines.
