Program Overview

The New York Red Bulls Regional Select is a program that provides high-level travel players with an opportunity to join a Red Bull Select Team. Teams are formed via tryout and operate during the summer and winter seasons, allowing players to stay with their club teams while experiencing additional supplementary training and competitive tournament play in a club-neutral setting. The program allows players an opportunity to meet like-minded athletes and compete in a fun and challenging environment throughout each season without the need for extensive travel every week.

Regional Select offers an alternative pathway into the Red Bulls RDS Showcase Teams. Which ultimately feed the Red Bulls Academy. Play occurs exclusively in the off-season to ensure minimal conflicts with a player’s regular travel team commitment.

Select teams are operated at five regional sites throughout New York and New Jersey, providing easy access for players throughout the metro area. Each season features six weeks of training and two tournaments; the program also incorporates a festival at Red Bulls Training Facility.
