Travel Program Overview
Travel soccer is a sponsored division of Great Falls Soccer, intended for the players that demonstrate both the interest and ability to play at a level in the top bracket of their age group; or demonstrate the potential to play at the top level of their age group. Playing on a travel soccer team not only requires that your son or daughter be capable of playing at a very competitive level relative to the rest of their age group, but also involves a substantial commitment of time, energy, and money from both the player and their families.
It is the desire of Great Falls soccer to provide the opportunity within Great Falls for players at all levels of ability – and provide a roadmap to assist players in developing technical skills to ensure they can achieve their goals relative to soccer.
Travel soccer provides a highly competitive training and playing environment for those players (and their families) that have the interest, athletic ability, soccer skills, commitment, and can meet the other demands placed upon them. Having said this, there is still a very broad range of skill levels and commitment requirements between a top Division team in a premier league, and a lower Division team in a competitive league.

Selecting a Team:
Great Falls Travel teams compete in a number of local leagues. An extremely skilled player may decide the right environment is a lower Division team rather than the top Division team, just so that skilled athlete can also play another sport; or play with close friends. Those choices usually come as a player advances in his/her soccer career – not at the earliest age groups.
