Travel League Information

The Penn-Trafford Soccer Club is proud to participate in the PA West travel program at the division 4, 5 and 6 levels. Division 4 teams will compete against other division 4 teams across all of PA West while the division 5 & 6 programs will play in the PA West Eastern division. The goal of the PTSC Travel Program is to offer players the opportunity to play soccer at a higher level then the recreational level. However, it is important that players are aligned with a team that works for their skill level and will allow for continued growth. For this reason, a tryout process takes place each summer to help the club build out the travel teams for the following season. All players are required to participate in a tryout, and while the PTSC will make every effort to place as many players as possible, a spot is not guaranteed.

2025-26 Travel Program

This is the registration for the 2025-26 Travel Program. By registering you are indicating that your child will attend a tryout for potential placement on a travel team. There is $25 tryout fee per player with that fee being applied to your registration balance if you accept a bid. If there is not a team to place your child on you will be refunded this $25 fee. All players are required to tryout for the age classification based on their birth year. Upon the conclusion of tryouts, bids will be sent to those who have secured a roster spot. You will have 72 hours to accept the bid and lock in your child's spot. If you do not accept the bid within 72 hours, your child's bid is considered null and void and that spot may be given to another child. Payment of the travel registration fee is required at the time of bid acceptance. You may opt to pay the $375 balance in full ($300 registration fee plus $50 Fall 2025 volunteer fee plus $50 Spring 2026 volunteer fee less the $25 tryout fee) or you may select our 2025-26 Travel Program Payment plan where you will pay $125 at bid acceptance, $125 on September 1, 2025 and $125 on March 1, 2026. Your account must be in good standing to accept a bid for the 2025-26 travel season, therefore any outstanding balances must be paid in full before registering. If you have any questions regarding our tryout process please contact us at [email protected].

The tryouts schedule for the 2025-26 Travel Program is listed below. Every player is required to attend at least 1 tryout night, however you are encouraged to attend both nights if possible.

Please note the following:

For the U9 through U12 age classifications, by accepting a bid, you are committing to play the FULL SEASON (Fall 2025 & Spring 2026). Those who cannot commit to the playing both the Fall 2025 and Spring 2026 season cannot be guaranteed a roster spot.
For the U9 through U12 age classifications, the commitment for the travel program includes attending weekly practices (2 per week) and games (approximately 7 per season). For the U13+ age classifications, the commitment for the travel program includes attending a weekly practice (1 per week) and games (approximately 7 per season).
The PTSC reserves the right to cancel any age classification where there are not enough players to form a team. If this occurs, any player who tried out for a cancelled age classification will be refunded their $25 tryout fee.
The PTSC reserves the right to combine any age classifications where deemed necessary.
The travel program is a tryout based program meaning that not everyone is guaranteed a bid. While we will do everything to place as my children as possible, cuts may need to be made. Any player not offered a roster spot may be offered a "Training Pool" spot meaning that they would be able to train with a travel team and play in games if a weekly roster spot opens, but they will not be on the official team roster.
The PTSC reserves the right to adjust rosters as needed between the Fall and Spring seasons.
Preference for U9 roster spots will be given to 2017 birth year aged children.
Bids given for the U9 age classification will be for a roster spot, however specific team assignments will not be made until after pre-season practices in late July/Early August.
The registration fee includes registration in the annual Plum Kickoff Classic tournament as well as 8 weeks of indoor winter training.
All players are required to purchase a uniform kit if they don't already have one.
