Travel Program

This program is tailored specifically for players U8 and above who want a more competitive soccer experience. Our travel teams are coached by volunteer parent coaches who have taken the appropriate level coaching certification courses through New Jersey Youth Soccer, and guided by professional training resources provided by MatchFit Academy.

Travel teams are also required to have one weekly training session with a Matchfit/Surf Trainer, this will be at an additional cost above the registration fee.

Travel teams will participate in league play through one of the many travel leagues, based on skill level, competitive ability and commitment level of the team. As always, the goal is to place each team in a league and division where they can be challenged but not overwhelmed. All players need to experience some success along with some failure in order to grow and develop. All players need to learn to win with grace, and to lose with dignity.
Travel teams require more player commitment as schedules are often more involved than recreational teams, and depending on the team, may involve tournament play outside the normal league schedule which is typically a 10 game fall season and 10 game spring season, depending on the league each team participates in.
All travel team placement requires a tryout for appropriate team placement. TRFC club wide tryouts are held each Spring for the U8-U14 age groups for the following Fall’s teams, and tryout announcements are always placed on the homepage of our website. Mid-year tryouts can be scheduled for individual players looking for travel team spots provided a team in the appropriate age group has an open roster spot.
