Travel soccer is designed for players and parents who are willing to make a higher level of commitment in time, effort, training and competition. Travel soccer is competitive soccer played against teams from other community clubs. Games are played in the Western PA area, as a member of the PA West Soccer Association. Players who have shown an interest and ability greater than most recreational players can benefit from moving to travel soccer.
