The House Program is focused on skills development and recreational play.  At the younger age levels, the primary focus is to instill a love of soccer while introducing the basic skills, rules, and elements of the game.  Coaches will encourage fun, participation, and skill development, within a primarily non-competitive environment conducive to fair and equal play.  At the higher age levels, the program will continue to focus on player development with emphasis on teamwork and sportsmanship, while progressively introducing game strategies and moderate competition.  House teams do not participate in tournaments.  House teams attempt to provide equal playing time to all players.  

The Select Program is an extension of the House Program for girls and boys starting at the U9 age bracket.  To be eligible to play select, you must be a registered House participant.  The Select program is a step up in competition as compared to the normal House level of play.   Select allows  skilled House players a greater challenge than House without the commitment to the Travel program.  The Select season consists of weekend tournaments that run from early June to late July. Each select team determines its own practice schedule and which tournaments they choose to enter. Although it is encouraged that all players on a select team get an opportunity to play in tournament games, the amount of playing time each player receives is at the discretion of the coach.  There is additional cost to play select depending upon the number of tournaments a team chooses to enter. A Select player may not play on a Travel team.

The Travel Program is the highest level of competition within the RHSC.  Starting at the U8 age bracket, players may try out for a travel team during pre-season tryouts (typically in September).  Travel teams typically play an indoor season in addition to the normal outdoor season.  Travel teams also will practice throughout most of the year unlike In-House or Select.  During the season, Travel teams play top teams from the Rochester area (i.e. Greece, Irondequoit, Penfield, Pittsford, etc.)  Like Select, Travel teams may also enter tournaments during the year.  Also like Select, playing time is at the discretion of the coach.  A Travel player may not play on a Select team.
