Travel Program

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) and also in the New York Club Soccer League (NYCSL).

Dedicated professional trainers help elevate individual and team skill levels, alongside committed parent volunteer coaches. Our teams 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

Travel games run September through November in the fall, and April (or late March) through June in the spring. There are generally no league games over holiday weekends, although some teams participate in tournaments.

Joining a Travel Team

Team formation happens after player evaluations are held each May. Dates are announced on our website and through email to our current registrants in AYSO and travel.

After teams are formed, depending on the age group, there may be limited team openings.

We welcome you to contact us after the tryouts date has passed -- please email [email protected], being sure to include your player's birth year and gender if you are interested in finding out if there are opportunities at your player's age level.
