Travel Soccer FAQ
What is Travel Soccer?
Travel soccer is for players that are looking to make more of a commitment to soccer. DYS travel teams play in the Boston Area Youth Soccer (BAYS) league.
What is the difference between House League and Travel Soccer?
Travel soccer is for players who want to improve their skills and take their soccer to the next level. House League is more instructional and fun, and is open to all players regardless of ability. Travel Soccer is more of a commitment than House League. Usually teams practice 2x a week and have games on Saturdays that require time to travel. While Travel Soccer can become more competitive as players progress, it is still intended for the players to have fun, enjoy and learn more about soccer.
Who can play travel soccer?
Boys and Girls in grades 3 through 8th are eligible for Travel Soccer. Occasionally we have High School teams register and those games are played on Sunday afternoons.
How long is the season? When are games?
The season is 10 weeks with 10 games consisting of 5 home games and 5 away games. Games are typically on Saturdays. Timing on games varies based on field availability for home and away teams. While BAYS does provide guidelines for game times, these could vary town to town.
When are tryouts?
Travel tryouts are held each Spring to determine the team for both the Fall and Spring seasons. All players must attend at least one date for tryouts. Please register for tryouts before attending (there is no cost to register).
How far will we have to travel?
Away games can be up to 45 minutes travel. Teams are placed in their leagues about 3 weeks before the season starts. Schedules are released about 2 weeks before the season starts. These are the teams in the BAYS League.
How often are practices held?
Typically 2x/week, when and where will depend on field and coaches availability.
What is the cost of travel soccer?
The cost to register is $100. For travel, DYS does NOT provide your uniform kit. You must order shorts, a home jersey and an away jersey along with red soccer socks prior to the start of the season from our uniform provider, Stoller Sports prior to the start of the season. Plan for 6 weeks for delivery.
What does my child need for Travel Soccer?
Each player will need a home and away jersey, shorts, and socks. All players are required to have shin guards, cleats, and an appropriately sized soccer ball (size 4 for grades 3-6, size 5 for grades 7 and above).
How many players are on the field?
3rd & 4th Grade: 7v7 - size 4 ball
