Competitive Travel Soccer Program
Level: Intermediate/Advanced
Our Travel Soccer program is to provide a highly competitive soccer experience for intermediate to advanced level players that will allow them to reach their maximum potential. To achieve this objective, the program will continue to teach and develop individual skills, techniques, tactics, fitness, and psychology necessary to become quality soccer players. The Travel program is an elevated level of competition from the Rec program and should give the players with advanced skill and desire to play the opportunity to compete against players of equal or better skill level. Travel players will commit to the team for the fall and spring seasons, play in tournaments, and train on their own time.
Travel teams are formed based upon attitude, athleticism, and performance at evaluations and/or during previous soccer season.
