Impact - Select Travel
The JHYS Impact program is designed for those players who wish to challenge themselves and develop their skills in a competitive environment during our traditional off seasons. Impact is a tryout based program that gives our most motivated players in the U11/U12 and U13/U14 age groups an introduction to a higher level of competition, and the opportunity to compete against strong opposition in the broader mountain west region. There are two Impact seasons, one in winter, and one in the summer. Players may play during one or both seasons, however, there will be a separate selection process for each season. Players should expect focused, high level training sessions with a heavy emphasis on tactical awareness and positional play.
Eligibility:
In order to be eligible to participate in JHYS Impact, players must participate in JHYS United or MLS Go. There will be U12 and U14 Impact teams for both boys and girls. For Winter 2025, U12 teams will consist of players born in 2013 and 2014, while U14 teams will consist of players born in 2011 and 2012.
Selection:
JHYS will hold tryouts for players interested in the Impact program prior to each season. Players must register for tryouts, and will be assessed by independent evaluators. Selections for Winter 2025 Impact teams will be announced on December 16th. Please note there is a tryout fee of $25 to cover field and evaluator costs.
For the U12 teams (2013 and 2014 Birth Years), 12 players will be offered spots to travel and play in Impact events.
For the U14 teams (2011 and 2012 Birth Years), 15 players will be offered spots to travel and play in Impact events.
