TRAVEL
***PLEASE NOTE***
Tryouts require registration and will assess a $10 registration fee. When invited to join a team the yearly fee of $175 is assessed. This fee covers the Fall 2021 and Spring 2022 season and is not inclusive of tournaments or special training engagements. Also, an additional fee for a uniform kit is needed and processed through our uniform supplier.
What is the difference between recreational and travel soccer?
In recreational programs, all children who register will be assigned to a team and will receive equal playing time. Ability is not a factor, and all interested players are welcome. Coaches are almost always novice, and usually are parent volunteers who offer to coach their children and their friends. Travel soccer is a competitive program. All players are welcome to attend try-outs, but not all will be asked to join a team. Try-outs will take place the Spring prior to the qualifying Fall/Spring season. Once asked to join, playing time is not guaranteed. Additionally, once on a team, players will continue to have to try-out every spring to keep their roster spot. Coaches are licensed, often professionals, and bring a wealth of personal playing and training experience to the teams they lead. Travel is a competitive world and players' development is important.
Who should play travel soccer?
Travel soccer is not for everyone and, in many cases, a player and his or her family may be best served by recreational programs. To be successful in travel soccer, children should show a high level of ability and their families should recognize that a greater commitment, both in terms of attendance at practices and games as well as financially, is required.
Uniforms
If your child played in Fall 2020 or Spring 2021 with the SJW program, you may use the same uniform if it fits your child in Fall. If your child requires a new uniform set (2 jerseys, a pair of shorts, and socks) that will be an additional cost.
