FAQ
What are the fees for Travel Soccer?
Fees for the 2026–27 soccer year (late August to mid-June):
U9–U19: $2,875
U7/U8: $2,150
Fees include professional coaching, league registration and referee fees, winter field space at Socceroof, player insurance, and one indoor and one outdoor tournament. Uniforms are purchased separately (see below).
How much are uniforms?
Uniforms are purchased from Soccer.com. Players are required to purchase the full Nike Gjøa kit, including home and away jerseys, shorts, socks, practice shirt, warm-up top and pants, and backpack. The full kit costs approximately $260. Instructions for purchase are emailed after registration.
What is the selection process?
All players attend tryouts, which may include organized sessions, team practices, or both. Coaches evaluate players based on ability, team needs, and overall fit. Following the tryout process, selections are made and all players receive an email with the outcome.
When are the seasons?
The travel year runs from late August to mid-June, with fall and spring league seasons. Teams typically have games on weekends and train twice per week.
In winter (November to March), teams train once per week indoors at Socceroof, with optional practices, scrimmages, and tournaments on select weekends.
Where and when are practices?
U7–U19 teams train twice per week during the fall and spring on either Monday & Wednesday or Tuesday & Thursday, with an optional mixed-team practice on Fridays.
In the winter, teams train once per week indoors at Socceroof on one of their regular practice days, with an optional outdoor session when weather permits.
Practice days, times, and locations are typically announced in July for fall, October for winter and February for spring. Fall and spring locations may include the Parade Ground, Red Hook, Sunset Park, Pier 5, and other fields.
Where and when are games?
Games are typically played on Saturdays, with some Sunday matches during the fall and spring seasons.
Each team participates in one indoor and one outdoor tournament, with some teams choosing to attend additional events. Optional scrimmages and tournaments may also take place on select weekends in the winter.
Our home field is Dyker Beach Park. Most away games are within the five boroughs as part of the EDP or CJSL leagues, though some may be in Long Island, Westchester, or surrounding areas.
What is the player commitment level and expectations for Travel Soccer?
Travel soccer requires a high level of commitment. Players are expected to attend all practices, games, and team events throughout the season.
We understand that conflicts can arise, but players or parents must notify the coach in advance with a reason for any absence.
Frequent absences may result in reduced playing time and could impact a player’s place on the roster. Coaches will work with families to address issues, but clear communication is essential.
How much playing time does each player get?
All players can expect to play at least 50% of each game, barring injury or factors such as attendance, commitment, or behavior. Our goal is to prioritize player development while competing at a high level.
How are age groups determined for the 2026–27 season?
For the 2026–27 season, Gjøa will follow U.S. Soccer’s new age group system based on an August 1 to July 31 cycle, replacing the previous calendar year (January–December) system.
To find your child’s correct age group, please refer to our Age Group Chart.
Do you offer financial assistance?
Need-based partial scholarships are available for families through an application process. Once invited to register for Travel Soccer, families will receive a link and instructions to complete the financial aid application. For questions, please email info@gjoa.org.
