WHAT IS THE 90+ PROJECT’S PHILOSOPHY ON PLAYER DEVELOPMENT?

We are committed to the long term development of everyone that is a part of our 90+ community.  Winning is not our main concern, rather player development for the whole athlete is our top priority.  On top of developing character and learning leadership skills at all ages, we hope to inspire your children to love the game, have fun and become well rounded players. We believe that players develop at different speeds with each age level offering different stages of expectations.  We encourage a healthy attitude towards growing as a player and person and we aim to instill the 90+ values and Character XI in our players throughout their journey.  The 90+ Project staff is responsible for outlining and communicating a player development curriculum which will fully develop our youth players under the 90+ coaching philosophy. 

IS 90+ A SOCCER CLUB?

The short answer to the question is “NO”.  We are not a soccer club, rather we are a sports-based, youth development (SBYD) organization that uses soccer to engage Spokane area youth and connect them to new relationships, on-and-off-the-field, that build character and create opportunities for leadership, healthy living & academic achievement.  Some think, “Since 90+ has teams, play games in a league, and wear uniforms…they must be a club”.  While its true that some parts of 90+ might look like a “club”, we pride ourselves in being a collective community of people who love the game of soccer.  Here are a few things that perhaps point to the differences between traditional soccer clubs and our organization.  Soccer clubs tend to be about “player development” and we at 90+ prioritize “people development”.  We focus on the growth of the person first and the player second.  We are committed to the growth of the whole athlete both on and off the field.  90+ is not a club, rather a community. 

TRYOUTS?

There are NO tryouts for 90+.  You heard that right.  Availability for entry onto a team is based on the number of returning players and available roster openings.  Once 90+ is committed to a player and their family, we are always committed to the player. The 90+ Project soccer community does not operate the way traditional “clubs” might.  Soccer clubs typically evaluate teams by wins and losses and hold yearly tryouts to acquire “better” players for their teams.  90+ believes the quality of the team is not just determined by the score but by how we play the game.  Our commitment to the player is for as long as they want to play the game.  Once a player is a part of 90+, they are always a part of 90+. 

If you desire to have your child be a part of The 90+ Project the first step is to fill out the application.  Applications are accepted throughout the year and new players are added to the team at the conclusion of the Spring season, heading into the summer programming.  Once an application is accepted it gets reviewed.  The goal is to discern if your family and child are a good fit for the program.  We desire to see if your values align with ours and that the focus of your interest is not in the success of the team but on the person development your player will receive while being a part of our program.  We are also interested in your desire to give back to the 90+ community to see all children excel.  Many factors are considered by the selection committee and once the deadline for application has passed, players will be chosen for involvement on the team.  

HOW EXPENSIVE IS DEVELOPMENTAL SOCCER WITH 90+?

Developmental soccer is more expensive than recreational programs because of year round play, higher league and tournament fees, field costs, player cards, insurance and administrative expenses. We recognize the impact these fees can have on families.  90+ ALWAYS has a sliding scale for all costs based on income.  The 90+ Project commits time and effort to raise funds to make sure that cost is never a barrier for participation. At registration the cost of developmental soccer will vary from $200 for the year to $899 per year for program costs based on age and income level.  There are additional costs for uniforms and tournaments.  If you have questions, do not hesitate to reach out at admin@90plusproject.org. 

HOW MANY TRAININGS ARE THERE PER WEEK AND WHERE?

Each session is developed by our 90+ Staff and Mentor Coaches and every session begins or ends with character and leadership development.  All developmental players will practice 2x per week with 90+ trainers and Mentor Coaches.  Schedules of training are determined before the start of the season with sessions being held up North on between 4:30 - 7pm @ Mead Sports Complex, Loma Vista Park or Franklin Park and down South between 4:30pm - 7pm @ Lewis and Clark field or Hart Field.  The trainings are scheduled by your Mentor Coach and takes place at a team scheduled time and a location that can best serve our teams. (those locations vary for each team) Additionally, in the winter, teams train at the 90+ Project indoor training facility downtown.

WHEN DOES THE SEASON START AND END?

90+ developmental program is a optional year-round program.  Applications are taken throughout the year and new players are added to the team at the conclusion of the Spring season, heading into the summer programming.  The year can really be broken down into the following phases: summer tournaments and camps / clinics, fall league play, winter institute, and spring league play & potential state cup entry.

HOW MUCH TRAVEL IS INVOLVED WITH DEVELOPMENTAL SOCCER?

The 90+ Project seeks to limit travel as much as possible for all our teams.  Especially for players at younger ages, travel during the regular season will be minimal.  As players get older, depending on the level of play, travel increases.  Our team managers work diligently to coordinate double header weekends when our teams travel, keeping coordination and flexibility at the team level. Summer tournament travel varies by team.  In most cases, teams in the U10 and below ages typically attend tournaments within town with the possibility of 1 tournament at greater distance. Summer travel usually consists of one, possibly two out of town tournaments for teams U13 and older, which run Friday through Sunday.

CAN MY CHILD STILL PLAY OTHER SPORTS IF THEY PLAY DEVELOPMENTAL SOCCER FOR THE 90+ PROJECT?

Absolutely. 90+ encourages it and the vast majority of our players at the younger age groups participate in multiple sports. Overall motor skill development, coordination and agility can be greatly enhanced by playing sports of differing demands.  Our staff and coaches understand the importance of a well rounded athlete and the benefits multi-sport involvement has for players in the long run. Since seasons at times overlap, there may be times when there is a conflict.  Please inform your coach as early as possible of any/all conflicts.  They will need to plan their training/games accordingly.  While we love soccer and desire for every kid to enjoy it, we put far more priority on the development of the player as a person and value the character and leadership potential of each kid. 

WHAT IS THE 90+ PROJECT’S PHILOSOPHY REGARDING DEVELOPMENTAL PLAYING TIME?

For age groups U12 and below, each player will receive a minimum of 50% playing time in games. While some players will play more, substantial playing time will occur for everyone on the roster. Our soccer community is based on player development with the majority of instruction and competition coming within the training environment, with the game being the bonus.  For age groups U14 and above a player is selected for game time because the coach believes he or she can add value to the team play as well as reap benefits from being a part of the group.  We believe a player adds value by making the team better in training first, games second. The amount of game contributions a player is able to make is based on a combination of many factors, including their effort, attendance, participation and attitude at training. It is important that our players, parents and coaches remember that the most critical part of a player’s development process takes place during training. 

WHAT EQUIPMENT IS NEEDED?

Shin guards and cleats are required for practice and games for players playing developmental soccer.  Additionally, a water bottle should be brought to every game and practice. Soccer balls are provided by the 90+ Community.  For Games, Full Uniforms are needed for all developmental players, which includes a sponsored Umbro jersey, soccer shorts and socks.  The cost of full kits are $150.  Financial assistance is available as needed.
