Tsunami Comp Team FAQs
What is Tsunami "Comp" Soccer
Tsunami "Comp" Soccer is a competitive program where teams are formed via a tryout process. Comp teams are made up of players selected by the coach and staff who have the skill set, attitude, and commitment and enjoy playing at a more competitive level. These players compete in a league against other comp teams from other cities and include participation in tournaments. Playing on a comp team is a commitment for one full soccer year i.e. fall and spring. Acceptance of a position on this team constitutes a commitment to soccer as the significant extracurricular activity for the child and the child/parents should be able to make this commitment without regret. .....Top
