TRAVEL PROGRAM

The East Penn Travel program was created to provide structured training sessions to encourage Imagination and Competition.

EAST PENN RUSH TRAVEL PROGRAM

OVERVIEW

The members of our travel teams will participate in league play and tournaments throughout the year. Teams are meticulously formed through annual tryouts held in late April and early May during tryouts, offering a unique opportunity for boys and girls to enhance their soccer skills to the fullest extent. Our club caters to a wide age range, from U9 (Under Nine) to U19 (High School), ensuring that players of all ages and skill levels have the chance to participate and thrive. We believe in fostering an environment that promotes skill development, teamwork, and sportsmanship, creating a positive and enriching experience for every participant.

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT FROM A TRAVEL PROGRAM?

Many people fear that a travel program is too competitive and driven by a "winning is everything attitude" that will impact players. East Penn Rush believes that the pursuit of excellence helps to develop mature, confident young men and women. East Penn Rush strives to provide an environment that fosters quality growth for our young travel soccer players by focusing on key ingredients of player development, such as technical and tactical understanding, quality coaching, physical preparation, psychological development; while also contributing to the personal development of our players in areas of trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, caring, fairness and citizenship.

HOW COMPETITIVE IS THE TRAVEL PROGRAM?

Our travel teams participate in four levels of travel soccer: Division V, Division IV, Division III, Division II. Every level requires more commitment and ability. East Penn Rush travel teams usually play in either Division III or Division II. Competition is challenging at all levels. Playing on a team takes a serious time commitment from both players and parents. Each player is expected to dedicate the time and effort necessary to continually improve his or her individual skills while contributing to their team.

WHAT IS THE PLAYING SEASON?

The local playing season extends year-round, with actual time commitment varying by team preferences. East Penn Rush recognizes the benefits of the young athletes participating in different activities during the long soccer season. The club's primary playing seasons are the outdoor seasons. The fall season runs from early September through early November. The spring season runs from early April through early June. Games are typically played on Saturdays and/or Sundays. During the winter months, teams may elect to participate in indoor leagues held at various locations and practice at the club's indoor facility located in Camp Hill, PA. Decisions on indoor session participation are made by each head coach. As teams progress in age and ability, each team may also elect to participate in tournaments. Tournament participation requires entry fees. Tournaments outside of the local area may require an overnight stay. These costs are in addition to the registration fees paid to the club each season and are to be handled by the participating team.
