Travel soccer stresses player development and a competitive playing environment. We recommend recreational soccer for less competitive players who desire equal playing time. 

 Your registration fee helps support the full soccer experience for players. It covers:

• MYSA league fees
• Tournament fees (up to 3 per team, including the state tournament)
• Coach stipends
• Referee payments
• Field rentals
• Winter training sessions
• Registration systems
• Coach resources
• Hudl cameras (U13 and older teams)

 The team fee supports expenses beyond standard registration. It includes:

• Academy or mini-academy fees
• Additional tournament costs
• Coach stipends
• Indoor training space

The registration fee does not include the cost of a uniform. A complete uniform kit—consisting of two jerseys (home and away), shorts, and socks—typically costs around $90 plus shipping.

Families are also responsible for providing necessary equipment, such as cleats and shin guards, and may incur additional expenses related to travel, including meals and lodging.

In some cases, teams may opt to participate in additional tournaments beyond the standard two per team allocation. Any such costs are the responsibility of participating families.

Winter indoor training starts in January and moves outdoors in April. Once outside, teams independently schedule their practices.

League games occur weekly in the evenings during the spring/summer season and on weekends in the fall league. Division 1 and Premier Teams players may also have weekend games in the spring. Games begin in April or May, depending on level play, and run through mid-July. Teams may also participate in weekend tournaments.
