Soccer will be the basis for teaching honor, integrity, cooperation, commitment and good will through victory and defeat. Finally, it is our hope that each player develops a passion for the game that provides him or her with a lifetime of playing, watching and loving soccer.

Season Overview


Competitive Program players are rostered for an entire year. The practice and game season typically begins in July/August and runs through May/June. Most teams take a winter break, from late November early January (high school aged teams break from late October to early February).


Our GNV Competitive Staff works hard to make sure that our teams are able to play in the best youth travel leagues in the area. Teams will also compete in various tournaments (typically two to four) throughout the course of the year. How many and which ones will vary from team to team.



Teams will train three days a week at Jonesville Soccer Park. Days and times will also vary from team to team. The Club also offers extra training sessions such as goalkeeper training, advanced sessions with our staff coaches, and winter/spring break/summer camps.
