The Competitive Select Program is a program for our older players (birth years 2013 and older) who missed the age cutoff for our Competitive Program, and have the talent and desire to improve their soccer skills and compete at a higher level. Competitive-Select teams will be competing in the NorCal Premier Soccer Competitive Playing League alongside other competitive clubs in the region. While the typical season runs from June-December, players in our Competitive Select Program will have the opportunity for more games, tournament play and multiple seasons if desired. Additional training is offered in the Spring, with the option of playing in the NorCal Premier Spring League or in NorCal Premier League Playdates. Tournament/Playdate participation will be determined by the coaches and the team.
In addition to a well-organized club, dedicated to providing superior service to our members, here is what you can expect when you join the Greenhaven Comp-Select Family:
A professional, highly licensed and experienced Director of Coaching with a proven track record of successful program development.
Quality assurance: a program wide curriculum and on-field plan/structure.

Strong foundational base and infrastructure: an established brand and large grassroots player pool. Deep community roots – 49 years of generational involvement, with parents who played in GHSC now coaching their own kids in GHSC.
A club dedicated to helping your player improve their skills while experiencing the joy of the game. We want to help our players thrive on, as well as off of the field
