ASHLAND YOUTH SOCCER

ABOUT OUR TRAVEL PROGRAM

Travel soccer is competitive soccer played against teams from other towns or communities and travel soccer is designed for players and parents who are willing to make a higher level of commitment in time, effort, training and competition.  

The Ashland High School teams are made up of travel soccer players or most starters are the products of travel programs. 

Games and training attendence is a committment and expected throughout the whole season. Placement on a level of a travel team for fall, is based off of June player evaluations.

Spring placement of travel teams is a placement based off of prior evaluations as well as prior fall season's coaches evaluations.

About the In Town Programs

The Ashland Youth SoccerIn-Town program is a fun, small-sided, team-oriented soccer for younger players attending Kindergarten through 3rd grade.

Coaches are encouraged to not to keep score during the games nor do we keep standings at the in-town level. The emphasis is on participation, skill development, and most importantly, having fun. We believe that a positive, up-beat environment is most conducive to your child having fun and developing a long-term interest in the game of soccer. We encourage all parents to allow their children to play without pressure, to let their child play freely in scrimmages with instruction only from their coaches, and to cheer for both teams.

Our coaches are volunteers. Maybe you will consider volunteering to help make this a great experience for your child!
