PLAYER PROFILE 

• Highly motivated, passionate, and ambitious
• Demonstrate higher levels of mastery of the key qualities of a player (as outlined by US Soccer)
• Ability to read/understand the game and technical proficiency are more important than being able to physically/athletically dominate due to earlier physical maturation. We would rather take a smaller, temporarily “less effective” player who shows long-term potential than one who has average or below-average technique and soccer IQ but who temporarily dominates due to his/her size and athleticism.

MISSION
The objective of the NI Select is to:

• Identify motivated, talented players – with club assistance
• Assist clubs in the player development process
• Showcase and promote players to scouts, id2, and college soccer programs 

We achieve this by providing

• A professional training environment with higher-level players
• Weekly specialized training with experienced coaches – NISL Select Staff
• Provide observations from scouts and college coaches

NI SELECT FEE ONCE SELECTED

• NISL MEMBER                   $TBD – 6 sessions
