MUSC operates under the guidelines of New Jersey Youth Soccer, which
is a member of the United States Soccer Federation, Inc. As such, our
travel teams play two 10-game seasons, Fall and Spring. Travel soccer
teams normally practice two times a week, and play games or participate
in festivals or tournaments on the weekend including some holidays. U9
- U14 teams playing in Northern Counties have boys normally playing on
Saturdays in the Fall and girls playing on Sunday. In the spring, both
boys and girls normally play on Sundays. U11-U14 games in most of the
other leagues play both boys and girls games on Sunday. Weather and
fields availability always plays a factor, so make-up games get
scheduled as they can. Depending on the skill level and age of the
team, considerable travel time to and from games may be required on the
weekend.
Each spring, players are invited to participate in our tryout process
to assess skills and form new teams for the following year. Placement
of players on teams is determined by tryouts, player development,
skills of new players joining the program, current year assessment
where applicable, and being able to form teams of players with
comparable skills. Participation in tryouts, or being on a travel team
this year does not guarantee placement on a team next year.
