Our Vikings FC COMPETITIVE TEAMS are designed to give our players a chance to use what they have learned in our Academy Program by playing against other teams from various local clubs around Mobile County. Competitive games are on Saturdays. Practices are twice a week on Tuesday and Thursday with an occasional practice on Monday.

Players for the competitive teams are chosen through evaluations.

Evaluations will be week of May 19

There will be no other evaluations sessions for competitive teams.

After evaluations, invitations will be extended for players to join the Competitive teams.

What is the Vikings FC Competitive program?

The Vikings FC Competitive teams are made up of Vikings FC Academy players that have excelled in the Academy Skills program, and want to challenge their skills and progress in the next level of soccer playing.  

The idea behind the competitive league is to take players that want to get to the level of tournament teams by exceeding in the competitive playing arena.  In the competitive league we follow the same USSF’s methodology and philosophy as they would in the Academy. 

All competitive coaches have completed the US Youth Soccer’s GrassRoots coaching program, and have undergone extensive background checks.

Our Philosophy is “Train to Succeed”, which means we believe we should practice as we play (Practice hard, play hard), and we make it fun while doing it.  We want them to learn and have a desire to compete, but we also want them to enjoy the experience and desire to return until they get to a point at which they feel they’re ready to try out for tournament teams.

Our players will experience the different playing style of many different competitive teams in our league which gives them the opportunity to observe, learn, and adapt as they grow.

The design of competitive teams is to develop them, keep them together, add to the team when players move on and create more teams in the process.  In doing this we teach them to work as a team, communicate as a team, learn to play to other player’s weaknesses, and to build a united front on the field, all while taking pride in the team they’re a part of and community they’re representing.
