North Star FC Competitive program compromises of roughly 800 players U9-U19. The spring \/ summer league starts in February\/March with one or two sessions a week in the RCTC indoor dome. <\/span><\/p>\n Outdoor training will typically start the week after the Rochester School District\u2019s spring break with a minimum of two training sessions per week. Games will start at the beginning of May and will be during the week (league portion). <\/span><\/p>\n The league portion of the season will be finished around early to mid July, with the remainder of July reserved for the State Tournament. <\/span><\/p>\n A maximum of three tournaments can be scheduled by the team that will account for a total of three weekends throughout the season.<\/span><\/p>\n An age-appropriate curriculum is provided, as well as ongoing support from the North Star FC Directors of Coaching. Formal education is required to become a head coach in a competitive program. <\/span><\/p>\n A minimum of two USSF Grass Roots modules (or equivalent) must be obtained prior to the start of the competitive league games. Exceptions can only be granted by the North Star FC Director of Coaching. We encourage qualified parents and non-parents of players to apply for head coaching positions.<\/span><\/p>\n ** We hire coaches throughout the year as a number of our programs are year round.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybF9wYWdlIiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsicG9zdF9pZCI6IjI1MDQ2MiJ9fQ==@” url_new_window=”on” button_text=”Coaching Application” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _dynamic_attributes=”button_url” _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_bg_color=”#85C6E5″ button_border_color=”#85C6E5″ button_on_hover=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” button_bg_color__hover_enabled=”on|hover” button_bg_color__hover=”#FFFFFF” button_bg_enable_color__hover=”on” button_border_radius__hover_enabled=”on|desktop”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/northstarfc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Comp-2-scaled.jpg” title_text=”Comp 2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” border_radii=”on|10px|10px|10px|10px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/northstarfc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/COACHING.jpg” title_text=”COACHING” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”13px|||||” custom_padding_tablet=”” custom_padding_phone=”0px||0px||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” width=”95%” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][pac_dtm_parent pac_dtm_full_width=”on” pac_dtm_full_width_gap=”20px” pac_dtm_active_tab_pointer=”on” pac_dtm_show_icon_img_active=”off” pac_dtm_active_tab_pointer_size=”16px” pac_dtm_active_tab_pointer_color=”#1E2E54″ pac_dtm_animation_tabs=”on” pac_dtm_animation_effect_tab=”sliderightbgcolor” pac_dtm_animation=”on” pac_dtm_animation_effect=”slideinright” pac_dtm_active_tab_background_color=”#85C6E5″ pac_dtm_show_subtitle_inactive=”off” pac_dtm_show_icon_img_inactive=”off” pac_dtm_inactive_tab_background_color=”#1E2E54″ pac_dtm_tab_padding=”5px|11px|5px|11px|true|true” pac_dtm_tab_content_margin=”30px|0px|0px|0px|false|false” pac_dtm_tab_content_padding=”70px|100px|70px|100px|true|true” pac_dtm_parent_icon_color_active=”#FFFFFF” pac_dtm_parent_icon_color=”#6717ce” pac_dtm_parent_image_size=”11px” pac_dtm_tabs_container_line_size=”1px” pac_dtm_tabs_container_line_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” pac_dtm_tabs_container_bg_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” pac_dtm_image_border_color_all=”#1E2E54″ pac_dtm_tab_content_padding_tablet=”|30px||30px|true|true” pac_dtm_tab_content_padding_phone=”|20px||20px|true|true” pac_dtm_tab_content_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” pac_dtm_tab_content_fonts_text_align=”center” pac_dtm_tab_content_fonts_text_color=”#000000″ pac_dtm_tab_content_fonts_font_size=”18px” pac_dtm_tab_content_fonts_line_height=”1.7em” pac_dtm_tab_title_fonts_font=”|600|||||||” pac_dtm_tab_title_fonts_text_align=”center” pac_dtm_tab_title_fonts_text_color=”#000000″ pac_dtm_tab_title_fonts_font_size=”14px” pac_dtm_active_tab_title_fonts_font=”|600|||||||” pac_dtm_active_tab_title_fonts_text_color=”#FFFFFF” pac_dtm_active_tab_title_fonts_font_size=”14px” custom_padding=”|||||true” hover_enabled=”0″ border_width_all_pac_dtm_tab_content_border=”1px” border_color_all_pac_dtm_tab_content_border=”#85C6E5″ border_radii_pac_dtm_tab_border=”on|5px|5px|5px|5px” border_width_all_pac_dtm_tab_border=”2px” border_color_all_pac_dtm_tab_border=”#1E2E54″ border_radii_pac_dtm_tabs_container_border=”on||||” global_colors_info=”%91%93″ pac_dtm_inactive_tab_background_color__hover_enabled=”on|desktop” pac_dtm_inactive_tab_background_color__hover=”#1E2E54″ sticky_enabled=”0″][pac_dtm_child pac_dtm_tab_label=”Team & Responsibilities” pac_dtm_tab_bg_color_active=”#85C6E5″ pac_dtm_active_tab_pointer_size=”15px” pac_dtm_active_tab_pointer_color=”#1E2E54″ pac_dtm_tab_bg_color=”#1E2E54″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” pac_dtm_tab_content_fonts_text_align=”left” pac_dtm_title_fonts_text_color=”#FFFFFF” border_radii_pac_dtm_active_tab_border=”on|5px|5px|5px|5px” border_width_all_pac_dtm_active_tab_border=”2px” border_color_all_pac_dtm_active_tab_border=”#1E2E54″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Teams will be assigned based on a number of factors, that include, but not limited to, license level, experience, age group requested, and gender requested. <\/span><\/p>\n This position is a paid position.
