Travel Teams

The Club's first program was its sponsorship of “travel teams” that competed in the Westchester Youth Soccer League (WYSL). The WYSL is an inter-community league for players ages 8 through 18, and is sanctioned by the United States Youth Soccer Association. The Club's teams play against teams from other communities, mostly from Southern Westchester towns such as Yonkers, New Rochelle, Scarsdale, etc. About half of the Club's games are played at our “home” fields in Van Cortlandt Park, the other half are “away” games played at the hosts' fields. Travel teams play in both the Fall and Spring seasons, and games are played on Sundays.

Participation on a travel team is selective, and potential players are required to try out for a position on a travel team. Participation also requires a greater commitment of time and effort than the Club's recreational programs. The number of teams and age groups that participate in the travel team program varies from season to season, and depends upon interest on the part of both parents and players. Consequently, there may not be a travel team for a specific age group.
