competitive program

The Hilton Heat Competitive Program is a youth travel soccer program for players who are ready to participate in organized league play and team-based competition. Teams compete in age-appropriate divisions while maintaining a focus on player development, teamwork, and enjoyment of the game.


Hilton Heat competitive teams are coached by parent volunteers and supported by the club to provide a positive, structured environment where players can continue to grow as athletes and teammates.

Coaching & Development

Hilton Heat competitive teams are coached by parent volunteers. Many coaches carry U.S. Soccer coaching certifications and are encouraged to participate in additional coach education opportunities offered through the club and external organizations.

This approach supports:

  • Age-appropriate instruction
  • Consistent expectations across teams
  • A positive and supportive learning environment for players

The club values continued learning and development as an important part of providing a quality youth soccer experience.

Competitive Levels & League Play

Hilton Heat teams compete in the Rochester District Youth Soccer League (RDYSL), which offers five divisions of competitive play. This league structure allows teams to be placed at a level that best matches player development and competitive experience.


Team placement is determined by age group, player development, and league guidelines.
