WHAT IS TRAVEL SOCCER?

Why is it called “travel” soccer? Woodbridge Youth Soccer offers travel soccer teams for ages 8-14. The teams are competitively selected and travel to games throughout the Mid NJ region (therefore “travel”).

Who can tryout for a Woodbridge Youth Soccer travel team?

Woodbridge Youth Soccer Club’s travel teams are not limited to Woodbridge Youth Soccer Club recreational league players. Players from throughout the area are eligible to tryout and play for Woodbridge Youth Soccer travel teams.

Most of Woodbridge Youth Soccer travel teams compete against area and regional teams sponsored by other local soccer clubs that participate in Mid NJ youth soccer travel league.

Everyone involved in travel soccer recognizes that serious commitment for young players is difficult. However, being on a travel team requires both the child AND THE PARENT understand that this activity is a commitment. Neither the player nor the team can develop to full potential without that commitment.

For most travel players, only religious commitments, school, and school athletics take precedence over travel team practices and games. Parents are involved weekly in field preparation in advance of and immediately after the Sunday games.

Typically, younger players may want to continue with their “rec” teams. No Woodbridge Youth Soccer rule prohibits this. The league and the travel teams simply ask that in the case of a conflict, the travel team takes precedence.

Typically, beginning several weeks prior to the season and continuing throughout the season, travel players attend practices twice-weekly. There are approximately 10 weekend games during the fall and spring. The travel games are typically played on Sunday, but re-scheduled games (due to weather, etc.) may be on either Saturday or weekday.

In addition, some teams may select to compete in one or two local and regional tournaments each fall and spring.

During the summer, teams may practice, and players are strongly encouraged to attend Woodbridge Youth Soccer training sessions.

In the winter, teams will practice indoors (probably only once a week) and may participate in indoor soccer leagues. Players will be required to participate in an indoor physical training program (once a week).

As teams mature, players may participate in regional tournaments on several weekends a year.

Travel soccer is not for every child or every family. But, what players and families who make the commitment find is that their skills (and confidence) improve by leaps and bounds; they make new friends; and the travel environment can be a lot of fun. Winning is not the ultimate goal of Woodbridge Youth Soccer program (player development is), but players and families alike love the feeling of accomplishment that comes from the success that flows from dedication to the sport.

Parents need to think about whether their child is ready for the experience. But, if so, the child will learn that success does not come easy; hard work pays off; and winning isn’t everything. These are life lessons that we all must learn and travel soccer is a good way to learn them.

Travel teams will play in games arranged by Mid NJ Youth Soccer. However, the league make every effort to minimize travel times. Half of the games approx 4 or 5 each season are home games played in Woodbridge Township.
