WRA, as a Club, supports multi-sport athletes, and will often make accommodations when possible, but expect that during the primary season August – November, Soccer is the primary focus when conflicts arise. Regarding financial commitments, WRA is a volunteer organization where most Coaches bring a wealth of personal playing and training experience to the teams’ they lead but often establish individual team budgets.  In addition to fall league play, which is covered in registration fees, most teams will bring in outside professional skill training, participate in Winter and Spring leagues, purchase team equipment, and play in 1-5 travel tournaments between July – June.

The fees associated with tournaments and/or any justified team expenditures are established/managed by each team and are additive to the base registration cost for the team.  It’s not unrealistic for these additional team fees to range between $300 - $1000 per player depending on the age and level of play.

We strongly encourage our most competitive players and teams at each age group, and generally encourage all teams, to continue to train/play in the offseason.  It’s not uncommon for families to seek supplemental training to ensure their players retain their competitive edge and/or progress to more competitive teams within WRA’s Travel program. Many of our Travel alumni go on to play for the Philadelphia Union Youth Academy teams, local public, and private High Schools, with many progressing on to play for D1 colleges.
