The travel program is designed for players U9 and above who excel in the game and want to participate at a more challenging level than the intramural program offers.

The benefits of this program are to challenge players to realize their highest potential through more intensive coaching and to develop long-lasting bonds with their teammates, coaches and parents. This program offers more playing time with players of equal talent. Player development, team tactics and winning are stressed more in the travel program, with better skilled players getting the most playing time.

• It is strongly recommended that athletes play at the age-appropriate level.
• Coaches are encouraged to obtain a coaching license within one year.
• Teams usually practice two nights per week.
• Games are usually played on the weekends and most games are within a thirty-mile radius beginning after Labor Day and ending before Thanksgiving.
• Players are required to purchase the Club-designated travel uniform.
• Teams will attend several fall tournaments and program registration fees include those costs.
• It is recommended that travel players attend camps to further improve his or her skills. Players are strongly encouraged to practice at home to refine fundamentals. This level of commitment ensures faster paced player development.

The girls compete in the Central League against teams in Delaware, Chester and Montgomery counties, usually on Sunday afternoons.

The boys participate in the Central League and play in the tri-county area, as well, mostly on Saturdays.

Family/Picture Day is held in October and the annual club fundraiser, the Blood, Sweat, and Cheers Mud Run is in December.

2026-27 Travel Team Tryouts

Evaluations for the 2025-26 Travel teams will begin the week of April 13th.  Registration will be open for players born between August 1, 2008 and July 31, 2019.  Each age level will have two tryout sessions.  Players must come to at least one tryout session but it is highly recommended that they attend both.  If your player cannot attend both sessions please reach out to the Travel Director, Chris Deisler, via email.  Evaluations will be held on the Woodland Avenue Fields behind Grace Park Elementary School.

Registration will open at 12am on February 1, 2026.

The tryout schedule is based on school year.  The use of school year (August through July) to organize rosters is a new policy coming down from our governing bodies, US Soccer, USYS, and EPYSA. All youth soccer organizations are expected to adopt this policy for the upcoming 2026-2027 season.  Children currently playing with teams that  no longer match their school year (i.e. playing up) should register under their school year and indicate the team they were on last season when completing the registration form so that they can be placed in the correct tryout group.

Our goal is to place as many players as possible while creating competitive, balanced Travel teams.  That said, Tryouts are a competitive process and not every player will earn an invitation to join one of our teams.  Those that do earn an invitation to remain with their current team, especially those who would be forced to play up due to the new age format, will be informed of all of their options.  All prospective Travel players will be informed of their status by the 15th of May.
