About

Auburn Soccer Club is a youth soccer organization based in Auburn, Alabama. The club organizes programming from introductory preschool sessions through high-school-age competitive teams under the tagline commitment to the player and the person, pairing technical work with character development.

What the club offers

Tiny Tykes introduces children ages two through five to club soccer with a professional coach in a capped class environment. The Development Academy uses a player-centered curriculum built around small-sided 4v4 play, large-group training that splits by ability, and a Play–Practice–Play session flow with a closing structured scrimmage. The Academy pathway serves U8 through U11 players who train two or three times weekly for roughly seventy-five to ninety minutes, with two optional extra sessions available for any Academy player who wants more touches; when athletes reach U12 they move into Select. Select covers U12 through U19 as the competitive track, with three practices per week led by senior licensed coaches, dedicated goalkeeper training during the season, and room for multiple tournaments each season.

Training locations, league play, and tournaments

Tiny Tykes sessions meet at the Wire Road Soccer Complex. Academy teams aim to limit travel for younger ages while still scheduling AMO (Auburn, Montgomery, Opelika) playdates at least monthly and occasional trips toward Columbus, Georgia, the Atlanta area, and Birmingham one or two times a season. Select teams may compete in Alabama State League Premier 1 or Challenger divisions for Alabama Soccer Association play and state-championship routes into USYS regional championships, and some groups also play SCCL (Southeastern Clubs Champions League) for a steady slate of regional matches centered around the Atlanta area. The club also anchors the Auburn Academy Cup on the local tournament calendar.

Seasons, schedules, and enrollment rhythm

Development Academy practices run Monday and Wednesday from 5:15 to 6:15 p.m.; in-house games begin on Wednesday evenings a few weeks into the season, with optional weekend friendlies about once a month for families who want more games. Fall training generally starts near the end of August and runs into mid-November; spring training typically begins in February and finishes in mid-May. Academy enrollment stays open year-round, with new players joining after a team-and-coach evaluation. Select welcomes midseason interest through the Director of Coaching. Summer camp offerings include Tiny Tykes camps, goalkeeper and striker weeks, and broader skills day camps for school-age players, with times, age bands, and fees set per camp week.

Fees, uniforms, and registration

Tiny Tykes costs one hundred twenty-five dollars for new players, including an ASC jersey, ASC ball, six practices, and an end-of-season jamboree; returning players pay one hundred ten dollars when reusing their jersey and ball. Development Academy charges a one hundred fifty dollar registration fee plus two hundred dollars per season, or fifty dollars per month across eight months when families enroll for both fall and spring, or four months when joining for spring only. Academy spring tuition for U8–U10 7v7 groups combines a two hundred fifty dollar ASC fee with a three hundred fifty dollar club season fee, with an optional seventy-dollar monthly plan across eight months; U11–U12 9v9 spring groups use a two hundred seventy-five dollar ASC fee with a four hundred dollar club season fee and an eighty-dollar monthly option across eight months. U13 and older Select spring fees pair a two hundred seventy-five dollar ASC line with a four hundred fifty dollar club season fee, with a ninety-dollar monthly plan across eight months. Uniforms flow through the club’s Capelli club store, and families register and pay through PlayMetrics for the programs that use it.

Philosophy and coaching approach

Across Development Academy and Academy, the club stresses long-term individual growth, age-appropriate challenge, and intelligent decision-making over short-term results, encouraging creative dribbling and risk-taking in younger phases. Select runs a high-performance training environment that still treats technical, tactical, physical, and mental development as one system, including goalkeeper-specific work for field players and keepers alike.
