WHAT
IS REP SOCCER?
"Rep" is short for Representative. Rep or "competitive"
teams are the Club's best players of a given age group, and
represent Spartacus in League, Cup and tournament competition
against the best of other clubs.
SAME GAME... DIFFERENT WORLDS
The game's the same, but environments for recreational and
rep soccer are very different. Rep is for committed players
and parents. Coaching programs run year 'round, outdoor and
indoor, and Rep teams play in outdoor and indoor leagues.
Rep teams practice more often, and players are expected to
maintain good learning habits and high standards of attendance
and punctuality. Rep soccer is "serious fun", and
competitive intensity increases as players grow older. For
a 9-year-old player and his parents, the future is too far
off to contemplate. Yet, nine years later, he could be playing
for Ontario in the Canada Games, or receiving offers of college
scholarships, or perhaps joining the many Canadians playing
professionally at home and overseas. Whatever his dreams and
achievements, a young man who spends his youth in soccer will
approach adulthood with many valuable lessons learned of self
and team discipline, fair play, friendship, and striving to
be the best he can be.
