Whitpain Travel Soccer is ideal for players and families seeking a competitive environment with a stronger focus on skill development than our successful intramural program. Families and individuals participating in travel soccer should recognize the significant commitment required in terms of attendance, accountability, and cost, as outlined below:

• Training & Games: Teams typically train once or twice weekly from summer through fall, sometimes during winter (at the coach’s discretion), and again in the spring. Most teams compete in fall and spring outdoor leagues and may also participate in a winter indoor league. While WRA encourages multi-sport participation, travel soccer must be a player’s priority during the season.
• Playing Time: Game time should be fair but may not be equal.
• Travel: Most league away games and tournaments are 20–60 minutes from Whitpain.
• Costs: Upon team selection, players must pay the club’s registration fee. Throughout the year, additional costs may include uniforms, a pro-rata share of tournament fees, winter indoor training/league fees, secondary league and referee fees (if applicable), supplemental third-party training, and team social events. WRA covers a team’s primary league entry and referee fees and provides a professional trainer once weekly in the fall. Total annual costs vary by team, age, and level, ranging from $300 to $1,000 per player. WRA offers need-based waivers for all programs, including travel soccer. Players seeking a waiver should contact the Chair of Travel Soccer or WRA’s Vice President of Operations.
• Volunteer Requirement: All travel soccer families must commit to at least one (1) hour of volunteer service per year. WRA is entirely volunteer-run and relies on family participation for events such as tournaments, snack stand operation, and field setup/takedown. Coaches, managers, and travel soccer committee members are exempt from this requirement.
