Travel Soccer

About

Travel soccer is for players interested in developing their abilities beyond the recreational level through hard work and a commitment to increased levels of soccer training and competition.

NYAA's travel soccer teams play in more competitive leagues within the area.  Most teams play in the Lehigh Valley Youth Soccer League but we also field teams in other regional leagues such as the Inter-County Soccer League and the Rock Soccer League.

Many teams we play are within the Lehigh Valley, all are generally within an hour drive.  Home games are played on Northwestern Lehigh recreational fields.

Travel teams play in one or more regional weekend tournaments per season.

Teams for the fall are formed based on interest via tryouts in the spring.  We encourage all interested players to come try out.

Although not required, a commitment to travel soccer generally includes participation in the fall and spring seasons.

NYAA has partnered with Perfect Touch Soccer, and offers each travel team professionally coached training sessions as part of their practice schedule.

If you have any questions about playing or coaching a team please contact the Northwestern Club Soccer Coordinator at nlsc.club.coordinator@outlook.com

Costs:  Based on season and level, + uniform costs.

Try Outs:

Tryouts for the upcoming soccer year (Fall and Spring seasons) are held one the spring.  Offer letters will be sent following tryouts.

We encourage participation from all serious players.  A positive attitude towards soccer is the biggest requirement.  If your player has a passion for playing the game we encourage them to try out.

As this is travel and the leagues we play in are competitive we cannot guarantee that every player trying out will have a spot on a team.  Players that are not offered a spot on a team are encouraged to continue their skill development in our Recreational program.

We will try and field as many competitive teams as we can based upon coach and player interest.

** If you are interested in coaching or trying out for a team that isn't listed please contact us ASAP.

What to Bring to Tryouts:

-Shin Guards
-Cleats
-Water
-Soccer Ball
