Travel Division: Travel teams require a higher level of committment from both players and parents/guardians. Players may need to purchase travel uniforms in addition to the registration fee. Teams are required to practice multiple times during the week and travel to games (whenever necessary). Placement of players is based on different factors and is decided by the Board.
Note to parents and coaches about Travel teams: The SSA forms the greatest number of Travel teams possible, using age, grade, and number of players registered as the main criteria. Decisions about the number of teams formed and the division in which the teams will play (U10, U11, U12, etc) are based on the number of players who register for Travel. No coach is assured of a having a specific team or specific players from season to season. Similarly, players are not assured of playing for a specific coach or with specific other players. The numbers - and thus the composition of teams - change year to year and Spring to Fall. Our goal is to have as many of the children who register for Travel soccer, play Travel soccer. Tryouts are the exception, not the rule. In every Board decision the focus is to be as fair as possible to all players and teams and to do what is best for the organization as a whole.
All new travel players must submit an original raised seal birth certificate and a copy to the registrar. Please make sure you have these items ready.
All travel players must upload a headshot during the registration process. Please upload only a headshot and make sure it is name with the following convention: lastname_firstname.jpg.
These items are needed in order for your child to play travel soccer. There are no exceptions and players will not be rostered until these items are collected.
Any questions about this policy may be directed to:
Travel Coordinator -- Pete Calcasola
