About
Travel team soccer is open to boys and girls who live in the city of Rye or Rye Brook and/or attend public or private school in Rye. The travel teams require a commitment of two 10-week seasons - fall and spring (Sept.-Nov. & April-June). There are no games on Columbus Day weekend, Memorial Day weekend or Easter. Each Sunday, there is a mandatory team practice on Saturday and a mid-week practice with a professional coach. The travel program had 673 travel players during the fiscal year. The format of the travel teams is: U9 and U10 teams play a 7 v 7 format on a smaller field, U11 teams play a 9 v 9 format, U12 and older teams play an 11 v 11 format on a regulation-sized field. Travel team soccer is competitive team soccer comprised of teams from communities in Westchester, the Bronx and Manhattan. We are under the immediate jurisdiction of the Westchester Youth Soccer League and must follow their rules and guidelines. While the program is more competitive than our Saturday intramural program, the U9 and U10 age groups are considered developmental. The primary focus of the program is to teach the game of soccer grounding players in the skills, tactics and strategies of the game while fostering a love for the sport. We strive to teach children the sense of accomplishment that can be achieved through working together. Towards this end, we require a commitment from each child to work hard, come to scheduled practices and games, to support each other and to win or lose as a team. As there are often more potential players than there are team positions available, we ask that players who choose to participate on Rye Youth Soccer travel teams make it their primary sport during soccer season. Emphasizing teamwork and commitment serves a greater purpose than to teach abstract values. It is the most efficient way to develop competitive teams. This is because soccer is a team sport and because games are won by teams, not by collections of individuals. Just as importantly, it teaches that success can be achieved by hard work. It is not unusual that a college All-American started as a substitute player on a community team. Finally, the philosophy of emphasizing sportsmanship helps to teach children how to handle themselves in the most competitive of situations. Towards this end, we expect and insist that parents and other fans set good examples of sportsmanship through positive reinforcement of players, coaches and referees. Parental sideline conduct is strictly monitored by Rye Youth Soccer board members. The philosophy of the program ensures that every child who demonstrates a commitment to the team will play in every game. The amount of playing time will vary depending upon the child's progress and the game situation. Depending upon the size of the team, each child can expect to play a third of each game. Boys and girls are formed into teams based on gender and age. Ages are defined as being younger than an age by a specific date. This is a new rule enacted by U.S. Soccer. We encourage children who are not selected to a travel team to play in our extended intramural program to continue building skills until such time as an opening occurs on a travel team. We are limited by our league to forming 4 teams per year in the U9 and U10 categories consisting of a maximum of 14 players each. We field an 'A' team in each age group each year with exception of U9 teams which field 2 B+ and 2 B teams. All teams within an age group practice together as a unit. U9 teams will remain intact for the first 2 seasons. Thereafter, we encourage upward movement over downward movement. Players who move down will do so only after the spring season. Due to the developmental focus of the U9 and U10 program, it is imperative that players be selected to play at the appropriate level to maximize playing time, build skills and maximize enjoyment. Those wishing to play travel team are selected based on the following three processes: input from Rye Youth Soccer intramural coaches rating each player based on their impressions over the course of the intramural season, tryout rating players individually on speed, ball control, kicking/shooting and one-on-one (judging offensive and defensive capabilities) on a scale of 1-5 (5 being the highest), tryout scrimmage rating players based on game situation. Coaches are selected by the executive board of Rye Youth Soccer with direct input from the Director of Soccer and the Director of Intramurals. Intramural evaluations completed by parents are also utilized.
