Travel
RHSC Travel Soccer is a comprehensive training and competition program for our young athletes to improve their soccer skills and experience the challenge and excitement of competing with teams from all over the Hudson Valley region. We have an incredible group of experienced and dedicated volunteer coaches, supplemented by professional coaches and trainers, that work with our travel teams. RHSC Travel Soccer does involve a degree of time and travel commitment beyond the requirements of intramural soccer, but remains manageable for families and allows our players to pursue many other interests and activities.
Travel Season & Practices
The Fall Travel season runs from late-August to mid-November, weekly winter practices run from January through March in a climate-controlled indoor soccer facility, and the spring season runs from early April to mid-June. Typically teams practice twice a week for 60-90 minutes at our Rockefeller Lane fields during the fall and spring, and once a week for 60 minutes at the indoor facility. (*Note that the high school-age teams often opt to forego fall practices and/or games to avoid conflict with the high school season.)
Our teams play in the East Hudson Youth Soccer League, which schedules games for its fall and spring seasons on Sundays. Teams typically play 8-10 games each season, evenly split between home games at our Rockefeller Lane complex and away games at other clubs ranging from 10 minutes away to about 60. In addition, some teams choose to participate in regional tournaments. There is always a lot of camaraderie and cooperation among team families sharing rides and providing support to each other and all the players.
Travel Tryouts
Tryouts are held in the spring for the upcoming season. Players should attend at least one of the dates and are welcome to attend both if they can. We are not always able to field a team in every age group, but we will do our best to find or create opportunities for everyone that wants to play.
Tryouts for the 24/25 season will be held on May 1 + 2. Sign up here.
