Answer – The traveling program is designed for the player that is ready to take his soccer adventure a step further than the in house program.   Coaches are preparing the player to become a part of a middle school team where the player must learn to play positions on the field and learn the more advanced soccer rules – example - offside’s to say just one.  Players are taught beyond the basics of footwork and ball handling. They are taught to work as a team. This brings all the aspects of soccer together.

Answer – The player will get the experience of playing in different locations around the area.  They will also play on a bigger field more of the true “soccer” game.  They get to be on a team that will usually stay together through the progression of the age groups. They are taught that it is a team effort and not an individual effort in winning or losing a game. All the skills of soccer are put to use. This is the real thing? It will prepare those wanting to go on in their career of soccer, such as middle school and beyond.
