The Select programs are our competitive travel state sanctioned club teams. There are 5 levels to the Select program; Jr Academy (u6/7/8), Academy (u9/10), Select (u11/12 & 13/14), High School Select (u15-19), and U23 Select.

Teams are under the direction of Director of Coaching Baret Ertzinger. Each team trains with professional staff coaches and licensed parent head coach.

"Tryouts" are just the official term for our teaming period, where all players are invited to attend so that coaches can best determine the appropriate team for each player. Players are not cut at tryouts nor are they cut based on skill. Players are evaluated to determine the best fit for them to grow and develop with the primary default teaming by birth year.

SESA hosts various youth and adult leagues throughout the year. The leagues offer playing options for all players in the area regardless of season or player ability. In our mission to grow the passion for soccer in our community, we acknowledge that providing affordable programs throughout the year is a great way to have more players exposed to and involved with soccer. Our programs are partnered with the YMCA and are played at the Burlington RecPlex, and FunCity Turf indoor facility. Previously many of these programs were only available in larger cities that required extra travel, or were very expensive. Our goal is to bring high quality programs to Southeast Iowa at a fraction of the cost of comparable programs.
