Crossfire Select Club is part of Lake Washington Youth Soccer (LWYSA). It is more competitive than Recreational programs, such as the LWYSA fall soccer program, but less competitive than year round Premier programs such as Crossfire Premier. Crossfire Select teams are evaluated by coaches and coaching directors and placed in competitive divisions that are appropriate for each individual team. A team that is well placed will win as many matches as they lose and draw any number of matches. In this way players are receiving a proper challenge to help them develop their skills. Most Crossfire Select teams compete in what is referred to as district play. That is, they compete in local geographic districts against other local teams - typically within a one hour travel radius. Some of the more competitive Crossfire Select teams participate in state leagues which can require travel throughout the state. The table below outlines the different leagues/divisions in which Crossfire Select teams compete, the geography for those leagues and the typical travel requirements.
Note: Crossfire Select is not a part of the Crossfire Premier Club. It is a separate Club in LWYSA, the parent association of Crossfire Premier, Crossfire Select and the Recreational Soccer Clubs
