The North Kitsap Soccer Club Select program was formed in 1998 with 2 select teams. NKSC is a member club of US Club Soccer (USCS).
From two teams in 1998, we have grown to nearly 300 players across 15 teams today. Our teams play in local, regional, and state leagues and tournaments over the course of each season. We produce state and regional champions, and have sent teams and players to national competitions.
NKSC Select provides comprehensive training for boys and girls 8-18 years old who have the desire, dedication, commitment, and will to achieve individual and team success.
Our Philosophy
NKSC strives to be a high quality, educational-athletic youth organization that provides a positive environment for the selection, coaching, and development of student athletes who possess the desire to be the best they can be.
Put simply, our goal is to teach our athletes to play “for the love of the game” by creating and maintaining this positive environment while emphasizing player development, sportsmanship, and learning life skills.
To help achieve this goal, NKSC Select is dedicated to:
- Coaching using the principles of Positive Coaching,
- Teaching players what it takes to be a good team and good teammate,
- Emphasizing technical (ball control) skills, especially at younger ages as the critical basis to future success in the sport,
- Teaching advanced soccer skills, tactics, and strategies to improve both individual and team performance,
- Teaching life lessons and skills that have value beyond the playing field,
- Providing advanced training and competition at affordable cost,
- Allowing teams to compete at their own competitive level of play based on their performance,
- Encouraging players to maintain a healthy balance between family, school, and soccer,
- Teaching that dedication, commitment, and teamwork allows its participants to accomplish more then the sum of the individuals,
- Acknowledging that parents, along with players and staff, all play critical roles in providing a positive environment which ultimately ensures team and program success.
We believe this positive environment, one in which parents, players, coaches, and staff all work together, is the best way to achieve our goal of ensuring our NKSC athletes play “for the love of the game”.
