River City Rangers Soccer Club

What ages and program levels does River City Rangers offer?Rangers Academy serves roughly ages six through ten (about U7–U10) as a recreational US Youth Soccer program focused on technical growth. Developmental Select covers U11–U14, and competitive Select runs U15–U19 for players who want higher-level league soccer. Academy placement does not require tryouts; Select teams do.

Where does River City Rangers train and play home games?All teams train at the St. Louis Catholic Church fields at 7601 Burnet Road in Austin, parking in the adjacent North Star Center retail lot rather than the church lot. U11–U12 home matches use the Quarry 9v9 field at 10911 Stonelake Boulevard, and U13 and older play 11v11 home games at Soccer Park, 9211 Research Boulevard.

How do tryouts and Academy registration work?Select players try out for roster spots each club year. Academy families simply register interested players for the upcoming Academy season—no tryout—and Caren Snyder can explain birth-year eligibility, practice nights, and game timing for that cycle. After Select tryouts end for a year, families can still ask whether specific teams have open roster spots.

What does Rangers Academy cost, and what is included?Academy tuition is quoted season by season and bundles training with uniform costs. Because fees and early-payment discounts change each year, call or text +1 512-426-2640 or email caren@rivercityrangers.org for the current Academy total and payment details.

What is the club’s philosophy and coaching model?Rangers call their approach “For the Player,” pairing nonprofit governance with professional, licensed coaches tied to individual teams. The club emphasizes individual development on and off the field, reasonable costs supported by family volunteers, and strong Central Austin training space.
