 What is Travel Soccer?

Travel soccer is typically a full-year program that offers players opportunities for highly competitive soccer training and games, which requires a higher level of commitment by the players (and their parents).

Romeo FC provides:

  • A full-year program focused on player and team development.
  • Competitive soccer at every level in local and regional leagues, MYSL, and MSPSP.
  • Licensed coaches who dedicate their time to the love of the game. 
  • Technical soccer skills training and game experiences for optimal player and team development.

What time commitment is required with travel soccer? 

Time commitments do vary among teams based on the competitive levels and interests of the players and parents. In general terms:

Fall/Spring Seasons

  • Fall Outdoor Season runs from September to November. 
  • The Spring Outdoor Season runs from April to June.
  • All teams practice at least two days per week.
  • Each team plays an average of 8-10 league games. 
  • Teams participate in at least 2 tournaments per year.

Winter Season:

  • Indoor Season runs from November to April.
  • All teams train/practice at least one day per week.  
  • All teams participate in Winter indoor leagues determined by the coach.  

What does the U in U9 mean?

The “U” stands for Under which means the players on that team start off under that age and are often turning the age number (ex. U9 means the players are at most 8 years old turning 9, whereas U14 means the players are 13 turning 14).

What equipment do I need?

Correct-size soccer balls, cleats, shin guards, and water bottles are required for all practices and games.

What size ball do we use?

Under 9 through U12 play with a size 4 ball whereas U13 and older play with a size 5 ball.

My player needs a new jersey or full kit, where do I go to do that?

New kits or pieces can be ordered through Soccer.com here: https://www.soccer.com/club/#/search, then by searching for our Romeo FC store, and finally your player’s name or team.

Can I wear a cast (or earrings, religious medals, eyeglasses)?

The FIFA Laws of the Game prohibit anything which could be dangerous to one’s self or other players. Referees ultimately determine what can be worn without being dangerous. Consult your coach with specific questions.

Are mouthguards needed?

Injuries to the teeth are so few that insurers do not require them. Many dentists however recommend them.

What format does my team play? 

U9-U10 play 7v7, U11-U12 play 9v9, and U13 and older play 11v11. (7v7 means 7 total players on each team at a time.)
