About
Galaxy Soccer Club is a curriculum-based, 501(c)(3) nonprofit youth soccer organization serving boys and girls ages 2 through 19 across the Austin–Round Rock metro. The club layers affordable recreational play, a development-first Academy track, and multi-level Select competition so families can grow with the sport without sacrificing technical coaching or a supportive team culture.
What the club offers
Recreational programming spans Galaxy Littles for ages 2–4, the City of Round Rock Parks and Recreation youth league for introductory team play, and Pre-Academy add-on training for players who want extra touches before Academy age. Academy serves players born in 2016–2019 with long-term development and small-sided play aligned to US Youth Soccer and U.S. Soccer Federation guidance. Select is open to players born in 2015 and older, with annual evaluations and invitation-only rosters placed across D2 (Capitol Area Youth Soccer Association), D1 and Super 2 flights through the Western District Division One Association (Alpha, Challenger, and Prime), and State Classics League or US Club Soccer alternatives for top bands. A training-only option also exists for competitive-age players who are not attached to another club but want focused development.
Development approach
Coaches prioritize player and team growth over short-term results, emphasizing ball control, passing, problem-solving, teamwork, and sportsmanship at every level. The club places players ahead of profits while keeping training quality high, and families can expect teams to build skill across a season and advance into stronger league tiers when ready. The long-term pathway runs from Littles and city rec play through Pre-Academy, Academy, and Select leagues up to late-teen competition.
Training, games, and tryouts
Most competitive teams train two to three evenings per week in the Round Rock area. Academy players typically play Saturday-morning blocks with home games in Round Rock and away trips around Greater Austin. Select teams compete primarily against Austin–San Antonio clubs, with San Antonio often the farthest regular-season travel and most rosters entering two or more tournaments each year. Official Select tryouts run from mid-May through early June each year; guest evaluations at team practices are welcome year-round. Fall 2026 tryouts include Academy evaluations May 4 and 6 (6:00–7:30 p.m.), U11–U12 on May 5 and 7 (6:00–8:00 p.m.), U13–U14 on May 11 and 13, U15+ on May 12 and 14, and make-up sessions May 26–27, held at Clay Madsen Soccer Fields (Monday/Thursday blocks) and Old Settlers Park Soccer Fields (Tuesday/Wednesday blocks).
Costs, volunteering, and camps
The club keeps fees as low as practical while still funding competitive training, with financial aid and flexible payment plans available. Select tuition varies by team level, and families should plan for possible tournament, cup, and camp add-ons. Each household commits to a modest number of volunteer hours per season—team manager roles, concession duty, and similar—or may buy out those hours. Weekly summer camps serve beginners and advanced players ages 5–17.
