Travel Soccer

Traveling youth soccer provides children the opportunity to develop a higher level of play and to compete against players from around southern New Jersey.  Egg Harbor Township Soccer Club is a member of the South Jersey Soccer League (boys travel soccer) and the South Jersey Girls Soccer League (girls travel soccer).  Although traveling youth soccer is significantly more competitive than Intramural league play, the foremost goal continues to be for the children to enjoy themselves and have fun!!! 

The travel soccer year begins on August 1 of the year of play and ends the following year on July 31.  There are two travel soccer seasons, Fall Season and Spring Season.  League play for the Fall Season begins in early September and ends in late November.  League play for the Spring Season begins in March and ends in late May.  Children participating in travel soccer are expected to play both seasons because, by league rules, teams are strictly limited in their ability during the soccer year to replace players.  Participating in travel soccer does not, however, limit a child’s ability to play other sports as well — many travel soccer players also participate in organized youth baseball, softball, field hockey, street hockey, swimming and many other sports and activities.

In each season (Fall and Spring), 10 games are played (5 at home and 5 away).  Home games are played at the Egg Harbor Township soccer fields located on Canale Park in Egg Harbor Township.  Away games are played in neighboring southern New Jersey communities with a maximum drive time of approximately one hour.  Generally speaking, girls play on Saturday afternoons and boys play on Sunday afternoons.

During each season, teams practice one or two evenings per week for about an hour to an hour and a half.  It is very important for all players to attend practice.  Practice is the place where the children improve their soccer skills.  Also, soccer is a team sport and requires all of the children to work together.  If a child continually misses practice, the child’s skill level will probably not match the other team members, the child will not be getting the full benefits of the program, and the team’s play will suffer as well.

Tournaments can be participated on a team by team basis, the club pays 50% for up to two tournaments each year.  The remaining portion is funded by the team via fund raisers and/or donations.  Tournaments provide a means for increased competition of short time periods and team experience in the tournament atmosphere.

Travel soccer teams are organized by age groupings, for example,  U-9 (under 9 years old as of August 1 of the year of play), U-10 (under 10 years old) and so on.  Only children who are at least 7 years old as of July 31 of the year of play are travel soccer eligible.  For example, a child who will be 7 years old as of July 31, is eligible to play on a U-8 travel team for the August 1, – July 31 of the following.  A child who is 8 years old as of July 31, 2007 is eligible to play on a U-9 travel team.  Age brackets are set by State rules, are strictly enforced, and Egg Harbor Township Soccer Club has no ability whatsoever to waive or modify the age brackets.
