This program is for the "skilled" soccer player interested in playing at a higher level of competition than can be offered playing in our recreational programs. Participation is in the CDYSL Fall and Spring Seasons. Players play on girls, boys or coed teams depending on the season and turnout. All games will be played away from our home fields because we currently do not have any fields suitable for Travel play. A player must commit themselves to the practice sessions and games, as the team is dependent on their participation. Parents must commit to the transportation of their player. The season is demanding of the player and parent, but the rewards of playing against other teams from the Capital District with the same abilities far outweigh the commitment.

Travel League distinguished from the Recreational League:
-
Travel Soccer is competitive, winning games is important- in Recreational
Soccer, winning is not a priority.
-
Travel Coaches will require a greater level of practice time and practice
sessions from travel league players- Travel coaches will also stress and
encourage their players to work on physical conditioning, endurance and soccer
skills apart from the practice and game times.
-
Travel Coaches have the discretion to establish team rules for the travel teams.
These rules might include attendance at games and practices, participation in
the indoor soccer league, participation in soccer tournaments and other types of
team policies. Travel Soccer will require that choices be made by players and
parents. The Travel Coach will have the discretion to insist that players on
her/his team commit to a practice schedule, tournament schedule, attendance
policies, etc.
-
Travel Players are not assured of playing in every game; recreational league
players are assured of playing in every game. Travel league players earn their
playing positions by showing initiative and good soccer skills in their
positions. Travel league coaches will play their best players in most cases;
players with lesser skills and players who show less initiative will have less
or possibly no "play" time in games.
-
Travel players should expect that games and tournaments will require that the
player's parent(s) or guardian(s) provide transportation to various locations
within the Capital District Youth Soccer League (CDYSL). The CDYSL currently
encompasses ( North to South) Saugerties to the Lake George region and (East to
West) New Lebanon to Cobleskill. Recreational league games are played at the
Coxsackie Schools Campus.
-
Travel league games take place on different days of the week depending upon the age level of the player. Travel league games are scheduled by CDYSL; Henry Hudson Youth Soccer Club has no control over the game days that are chosen. Recreational league games are scheduled for Wednesday and Saturdays generally, however makeup games are occasionally scheduled at other times.
