Travel soccer with the Jaguars United Soccer Association's is an inter-club recreational program. Teams participate against teams from other clubs within PA-West's South District.
Team Formation
We strive to provide every child wishing to play travel soccer the opportunity to do so. Enrolled and paid players will be rostered on age-appropriate teams at the discretion of the board. We strive to place every child who wants to play on a team - however, certain circumstances such as roster size limits can prevent this. If no team can be formed for your child, we will issue a full refund of the registration fee.
In-House & Travel Participation
Travel players may take part in the In-House Program for Under-10/12 (Co-Ed league). There is a nominal fee added to the travel registration at the time of checkout. In addition to the travel commitment, the in-house program allows one practice per week and 8 in-house games.
Travel Season
The travel soccer season includes the fall and spring sessions - players must re-enroll for each session. Team rosters are subject to change between the fall and spring session. Incoming travel players are first eligible for the fall season, and graduate to the next age group the following fall.
In general, practices are held once or twice a week. All travel games are typically scheduled on Sundays from about Noon through 5:00 P.M. and they are held within the South Hills area (usually under 1 hour drive). There are 7 to 8 games per session (4 away and 4 home).
Travel Divisions
While the majority of our teams play at the Division 6 or Division 5 level, we do have some travel teams participating in Division 4, which is deemed competitive and may include travel anywhere within the PA West jurisdiction including Erie, State College and West Virginia. Division 4 is the highest level of boys and girls soccer available to travel teams from community clubs. Depending on the pool of players, the Jaguars United board may approve competition in this league for some of our teams. Unlike Division 5 & 6 where travel is administered by District 4 (South), Division 4 is considered a competitive inter-district program organized by a PA West elected Director. Leagues are by age with the best teams playing each other. This division could feature statewide travel.
