2021 Fall Travel

2021 Fall Travel

SUMMARY: Travel Soccer is a competitive alternative to Rec Soccer played in a league environment, open to both boys and girls. Games are played via an organized, competitive soccer league, sanctioned by the CJSA. League and non-league games are played against various towns within the Central/North Central Connecticut District, hence the name ’Travel Soccer’. Examples of a few district towns are Avon, Glastonbury, Cromwell, Newington, Suffield, East Windsor, etc.

BIRTH YEAR: Beginning with the Fall 2016 season, travel soccer players were registered according to birth-year (January 1 to December 31) instead of their school-year age (August 1 to July 31). For example, for Fall 2021, players eligible for U9 (Under 9) must have been born in the year 2013. In other words, players should attend the appropriate tryout based on their year of birth. U9 is the youngest travel team that can be formed. Teams can form from U9 thru U18. Boys and girls play on separate teams. Beginning with the Fall 2017 season, the U9 & U10 age groups will play 7v7 while U11 & U12 will play 9v9. U13 and older will play 11v11.

PRACTICES: Practices for travel teams are typically twice a week, on a weeknight, at a local soccer field. Particular practice nights are determined by the coaches/team.

GAMES: In any given season, you may have 5-7 home games and 5-7 away games. This will vary depending on your coach, your league schedule or who & where you might have played in the previous season. Travel time to away games may range from 20 minutes (Avon, Farmington, etc) to 45 minutes or sometimes more (Suffield, Enfield, etc). Parents are encouraged to carpool when needed (and if safe) to save on costs and ensure that all kids can make it to the games.

For any player who does not make a travel team, your registration is automatically transferred to BJSA’s Rec program for the Fall season.
