What opportunities are available as part of TYSL Spring Soccer?

TYSL offers two different Spring Soccer programs: an Academy Program and a Travel Program. The Academy Program is a developmental program for U8-U10 players. The Travel Program is a competitive program for Select U10-U18 players. Check out the TYSL Spring Soccer Overview for more detail on these programs.

Why don't U8, U9 and some U10 players get to participate in the Travel program?

The purpose of Travel programs is to create teams of quality players that will participate against a similar level of talent. Creating high quality teams sometimes involves cutting players due to lack of abaility. Turning away U8, U9 and U10 players does not make sense. Our desire is to provide a highly developmental experience for U8, U9 and U10 players. These players will still play games as part of the Academy Program, but no travel will be necessary.
