PRSC Travel Program
Travel Soccer begins at the U9 age group for the Pine-Richland Soccer Club. Throughout PA West, there are six (6) divisions of play in the travel division. Teams in Divisions 1, 2, and 3 are considered Classic and commonly referred to as “Cup” teams. They can draw kids from any area and are not limited by geographical areas. For more information on Classic play, please see the PA West website.
Teams in Divisions 4, 5, and 6 are composed of community-based programs that play games against other community-based programs. Division 4 provides the most competitive level of play for a community-based team. These teams play against other teams throughout PA West (including West Virginia, Altoona, and Erie). This Division requires the most travel among our community teams.
Division 5 and Division 6 is for those kids who are interested in playing in a less competitive travel league. Teams play against other teams in the North District (ex. Hampton, North Allegheny, North Hills, Shaler, etc.). There is still some travel within these divisions but on a much smaller scale.
At the conclusion of each spring season, PRSC holds tryouts for D4 (and some D5) teams for the following Fall/Spring seasons. All kids in the PRSC program who are interested in playing in a more competitive environment are encouraged to tryout. Players who have made travel teams in the past are still required to tryout for the following season as teams are formed based on the tryout results.
