NL Soccer Club - Travel Soccer Soccer parents and players: Travel Soccer Program The Travel Program starts to emphasize the competitive level of soccer play. As the travel players progress into the older age brackets, they focus more on competition. Typically, our Travel League players are players who want more of a challenge from soccer. They enjoy improving their soccer playing skills by competing with other competitive regional teams. Our Travel League teams are coached by certified coaches who have completed coaching certification courses given by the United States Soccer Federation. Travel teams generally require a greater level of commitment from our players in terms of practice time and personal commitment from the players and their parents. Travel teams play in age groups that are established by the Capital District Youth Soccer League (CDYSL). Tryouts are conducted for travel teams. As a general rule, if a team has to cut players, the most talented, competitive and committed players will be given first preference in forming travel teams. The Travel League has only one season for U14 and up; a spring season that starts at the end of April. A fall travel season is also offered for U10’s and U12’s (since they don’t have the opportunity to play for a high school team in the Fall). Registraton forms for Travel soccer are available on our forms page.
