This program runs in the spring from late-March to early June and in the fall from mid-August to early November. Our U9/U10 travel program is for kids born in 2015 and 2016 who tried out and made a team during our D4 tryouts. Tryouts are held in May and the rosters that result remain for the fall season of that calendar year and the spring season of the next calendar year. Players who do not make a travel team at this age will have a spot in our U9/U10 in-house league available to them. If you wish only to play U9/U10 in-house, you are
not required to attend D4 travel tryouts.
At this level, the teams will play against teams from other clubs throughout PA West. This could include teams from Erie and West Virginia. Playing rules at this level include:
- Travel games that are played on Sundays. Games are typically scheduled between 12pm and 6 pm.
- A season is typically composed of 6-8 games which are split between home and away.
- Practices that are twice per week with a typical start time between 5:00 and 7:00.
- Teams play a 7 v 7 format (6+ Goalkeeper)
- Maximum roster size of 12 players

Tryouts are held in May for the following fall/spring seasons. Players who do not make a team at tryouts will play in our U10 in-house league. If you wish to play U10 in-house, you do not need to attend tryouts.
