The Travel Season has had a variety of titles over the years. Among the most popular are “All Stars” or “Select”. The players who sign up to play in the travel season are typically the players who rank highest in the Region’s Primary Season player rankings. This is common throughout most AYSO Regions which is why the program has had the titles previously mentioned.
Participating on a Travel Team can be a very rewarding experience. You may travel to interesting cities in Arizona and California. Before you agree to participate in the Travel season program there are a few things you should know. Membership on a Travel team is voluntary and, as the name implies, travels to tournament venues that may include non-AYSO teams. It typically involves a significant investment of both time and money.
Fees can range anywhere from $450-$950 or more per team per tournament. Referee deposits could be from $300-$500 or more per tournament and must be paid by each team. Referee fees are only refunded after the completion of at least 3 games by the Travel Team’s referee team. To offset these expenses, Travel Teams can conduct fundraising events. Coaches must disclose all expenditures to their parents and will be required to comply with all Tournament Rules including those governing refunds. Region 397 will not be responsible for any forfeiture of monies resulting from non-compliance.
Region 397 Travel Teams are required to participate in and support Region 397 in CRIT and River Daze, our local tournaments. Parents will usually need to volunteer 3-5 hours per local tournament. Shifts can start as early as 7:00am and as late as 7:00pm.
Parents and players should also be aware that not all players who express an interest in playing on a Travel Team will be placed on a team. The number of teams that are formed will be determined by the total number of coaches who sign up to coach travel soccer in each division, the end of season ranking of each of those players, and the total number of players.
