Formerly Rec Plus
United Select
The United Select program is for players (Ages 6-18) that are looking for a competitive balance between traditional ‘Rec Soccer’ and the more competitive ‘Travel Soccer’. It is a great level for players that are considering travel but want to ease into the commitment.
Our goal is to develop players to the best of their ability by focusing on skill development, building positive attitudes and growing the love of the game so they have the passion to play and compete.
All players are accepted onto a team within the limits of our session capacity, no cuts.
Practices are taught by Plex/FW United Coaches
All games (10U and up) have official referees
Select teams play games against outside teams
Spring and Fall sessions include game travel to outside clubs within 1 hr of Fort Wayne, though most games are held at The Plex North location
Players participate in 2 practices and 1 game each week.
Uniform is required, purchases are to be made after registration when you receive your players team name and jersey number
United Select: U8 – U15
Players who receive similar benefits as Academy players and compete in the second and third tier at state and regional leagues. The goal is to provide quality competition while developing players individually and in a team environment.
High School Select: U15 – U19
This program is designed to foster players who are looking for opportunities to develop their overall skills. These teams consist of a diversified group of players; each player having a different need but all looking to improve their overall development. They will compete in a local league, limited in the state.
January - May: Two practices a week and an indoor league and outdoor league.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
- What does the “U” mean? In state sanctioned sessions we are required to group children by birth year. In some instances a small number of players may be allowed to "play up" or even "play down" a year due to team limitations. A player who is U8, for instance, is under the age of 8 at the beginning of the fall season. If you're not sure what age group to choose for your child please refer to the chart on the next tab. You are also welcome to reach out to The Plex staff for guidance as well.
- How often will my child practice? Practices will be held for one hour twice a week.
- What if my child wants to play with her best friend or neighbor for carpooling? You may list the friend’s name on your registration. Although we will try to honor these requests, we cannot make any promises, especially if several players are asking to play together.
- What if I have a team of players who want to play United Select together? This is allowed please contact the program Director of Administration for details.
- What if I register and my child changes his or her mind? Send an email to Marina Lima at marinal@fwunitedfc.com. If you withdraw before the 1st day of the season, we can refund all but $15 of your original payment. After first day of season, there are no refunds .
- Does everyone get a trophy? Our U8 players will receive a small trophy or token for participating in the season. Players in U10-U14 will participate in an end-of season party
- Are the groups coed or single sex? Our U8 -U15 groups are coed. We do have single sex team options within the travel programs.
- Can my child “play up” an age group? These decisions are made on a case-by-case basis. Please reach out to our director of recreational soccer, Marina Lima at marinal@fwunitedfc.com if you would like to discuss this.
- Can I coach my child’s team? All teams are assigned licensed coaches. If you are interested in coaching please reach out to our director of recreational soccer, Marina Lima at marinal@fwunitedfc.com to discuss this.
