We believe the most ambitious players in our club will have opportunities to go to the next level without the need to travel within their team but we will have plenty of opportunities for interested players to travel in small groups or individually (see PLAYER EXPOSURE below)  and at the same time we avoid unnecessary team travel costs for families unless the developmental value is clearly there

👉 TEAM EXPOSURE becomes important when a team is consistently dominating locally and no longer being challenged enough week after week. In those situations, traveling as a full team to stronger tournaments or leagues can accelerate development.

However, if a team still has meaningful local competition, our approach is usually different:

• focus on strong local league competition
• schedule quality friendlies when appropriate
• and avoid unnecessary travel costs for families unless the developmental value is clearly there

At the same time, we also recognize that individual players may need additional opportunities as they continue growing.

👉 That is where PLAYER EXPOSURE becomes important.

At Real SC, this can happen through several pathways:

• guest playing opportunities with partner club’s teams and other clubs if a player wants to travel
• forming special tournament teams within the club using top players from multiple groups when numbers and timing allow
• participation in ODP (Olympic Development Program)
• identification camps and scouting events
• and opportunities connected to professional clubs and international contacts and partners through Real SC

With the potential collaboration opportunities described above, this could also create exciting possibilities for individual players who want to travel.

One of the strengths of a flexible club structure is being able to create the right opportunities for both teams and individual players as they continue progressing in the game.
