HSA Select is designed to provide an opportunity for players to experience a more competitive level than recreational soccer. Select players are coached in technique and tactics to take the level upward and away from the recreational level, and repeated performance efforts are emphasized. Select leagues within Washington typically emphasize (as much as possible) localized play with a lower overall travel requirement (than premier soccer), and like-versus-like competition.

HSA Select is designed to provide an opportunity for players to experience a more competitive level than recreational soccer. Select players are coached in technique and tactics to take the level upward and away from the recreational level, and repeated performance efforts are emphasized. Select leagues within Washington typically emphasize (as much as possible) localized play with a lower overall travel requirement (than premier soccer), and like-versus-like competition.

Select level players are often involved with other sports which can share priority over soccer. Select soccer still offers the player an avenue to play competitively but does not require the amount of training, games, tournaments, and travel, and cost as the most advanced levels of play.

The select player typically receives more advanced technical and tactical coaching instruction than a recreational player. Competition is encouraged and players will go through a tryout process to make a team. Teams are selected by the head coach and other evaluators. All Select coaches have access to Washington Youth Soccer coaching resources, development, and licenses.

While typically Select coaches are volunteers, they are often more experienced than recreational coaches. The HSA Select Program requires their select coaches to hold at a minimum, a Washington Youth Soccer (WYS) "E" License (or equivalent) and encourages their coaches to pursue the USSF "D" License (or equivalent).
