Lions Select

Ages 8+
Competitive soccer for committed players seeking higher-level development.

Lions Select is our competitive program for players who are ready to challenge themselves in a more demanding training and game environment. This pathway is designed for athletes who demonstrate a strong commitment to growth, effort, coachability, and team culture.

The Select program emphasizes advanced technical development, tactical understanding, competitive excellence, and intentional player growth. Players will train in an environment that pushes them to compete, think critically, and develop both individually and as teammates.

Our goal is for all Select teams to be led by coaches holding a US Soccer D License or higher, ensuring players receive high-level instruction and long-term developmental guidance.

Lions Select teams participate in a year-round developmental structure that includes competitive league/friendlies play, tournaments, futsal training, and optional summer opportunities to help players continue growing throughout the year.

What Families Can Expect

  • Twice per week training for 1.5 hours each.

  • Higher-level training environment with increased expectations

  • We will not plan league games, friendlies or practices on Sundays, as we believe in protecting that day for faith, family, and rest. However, since tournament schedules are set externally and out of our control, those can and likely will consist of the occasional Sunday.

  • Players are expected to participate in all three seasons— fall, winter, and spring. We have seen firsthand the incredible development that happens by keeping the team playing and practicing together through the winter. We do understand though that extenuating circumstances exist and we are happy to discuss this on a case-by-case basis.

Training Environment

At Idaho Lions FC, we believe competition and character should grow together. While players are challenged to pursue excellence on the field, we are equally committed to creating a culture that values integrity, encouragement, humility, and love for others.
