Coaching assignments are based on expectations and the estimated number of players coming in for specific age groups.  The number of players actually selected will determine the number of teams in the age group and the qualified coaching assignment.

RPB Strikers is a CLUB BASED program.  Players sign with the club; not a specific coach or team.  Players and coaches can be moved from group to group throughout the club.  These decisions & evaluations are made by the Director of Coaching and will be based on the coach's strengths and experience and on the individual player’s level of play, commitment, attitude and more. This system is put into place to create a positive but competitive environment for the players.

Teams will be open to accept additional players throughout the season.
