Tryout dates are advertised on the website, via e-mail, and by flyer to Canton Intermediate School and Cherry Brook Primary School.

The older players using the large field have about 16 players on the roster. The small sized teams, using the small fields, have around 12 players.

Travel teams practice two times during the week. Games are scheduled for Saturday and Sunday. Most teams will play two games each weekend.
What is the cost of the travel program?

Travel players also pay additional monies for referree fees. The amount depends on the number of home games played that season.
How long is the season?
There are two seasons in Travel Soccer. In the fall, practice begins at the end of August. Games begin in early September and end in early November. Not every age group fields a team for the spring season. Spring practice and games begin in April and end in early June.
