Travel Program

For Fall 2020, because of Covid-19, we will be holding an in-house program, RUFC Home Advantage, for our competitive players, not our usual travel program.

The below content is not applicable during Fall 2020 because we are not participating in the WYSL, but we are leaving it here so families can learn how our program runs during "normal" times.

Travel teams are the advanced play program of the Rivertowns United Football Club (RUFC). We field teams in multiple age and skill divisions of the Westchester Youth Soccer League (WYSL).

Dedicated professional trainers help elevate individual and team skill levels.

Our teams will compete at appropriately competitive tiers of league play.

Our coaches promote a positive approach to player and team development.

We strive to promote love and respect for the beautiful game of soccer.

Season Dates

WYSL games run September through November in the fall, and April through June in the spring, weather permitting. There are no WYSL games over holiday weekends, although some teams participate in various tournaments in the area.

Travel teams should refer to WYSL website, under Schedules/Scores, for the actual team schedules, which are usually posted right before season start.

Joining a Travel Team

Team formation happens after player evaluations are held each May. Dates are announced on our website, in the Enterprise, and through email to our current registrants in AYSO and travel. After teams are formed, depending on the age group, there may be some additional team openings. Contact the travel coordinator directly about this at [email protected]
