Please Consider Being a Travel Team Coach!
Yes, the Barrens Travel Club will be holding tryouts but teams DO NOT magically appear. If a team doesn't already exist, a parent (or a couple of parents) need to volunteer to coach the new team.
If an existing team has a sufficient number of players we can combine age groups or add another team in the same age group. But again, parents need to volunteer to help coach or manage the team.
At the earlier age groups the most important thing is to get the players organized and playing. We can help you teach the game.
Age groups are based on the players birth date as of July31st. For example: if a player turns 11 on August 15th he or she is 10 on July 31st and therefore is eligible to play on an Under-11 or U11 team.

The Barrens Travel Soccer Club is comprised of soccer teams that play in a competitive York County league, York USA. Teams play other travel teams in neighboring communities such as Red Lion, Dallastown, Spring Grove, Mason-Dixon and others. Teams also travel to play in soccer tournaments in places like Gettysburg, Hempfield or Dillsburg, and may play in competitive indoor leagues. Travel teams typically play in a fall and spring outdoor season.
If you plan to tryout for Barrens Travel Soccer Club, do not register for Barrens Soccer Club until you have been notified that you did not make a travel team. Deadline for the Barrens Soccer Club will still be May 31st and the late fee will apply after that date. Refunds will not be issued for players transferring to Travel.
For additional information contact the Travel Coordinator/President, Al Chesnavage.
Try-outs are held in April for the following fall season. Practice typically starts in July and are held at Fawn Grove and Stewartstown fields.
The Barrens Soccer program has grown so much over the past several years that, although the Barrens Travel Soccer Club is affiliated and has a strong, healthy, cooperative relationship with the Barrens Soccer Club, it is a separate organization run by a different board.
