Classic Travel
SOCA Classic Travel Program
The mission of the Classic travel program is to provide advanced development through a competitive game and training environment. Player development takes place through elevated commitment and competition.
SOCA Classic teams are based in the Charlottesville-Albemarle area and compete in more regionally based divisions of the Skyline Club Soccer League. The Classic program provides opportunity for motivated players to improve their abilities and compete against players from other communities. Opportunities for pool and guest play exist with the corresponding SOCA Premier travel teams and participation allows for team coaches and SOCA technical staff to observe and evaluate players at all levels of the program. Advancement to the Premier level of play is determined by player ability within the given pool of players at each age group within the club.
The Charlottesville Travel program is proudly sponsored by acac Fitness and Wellness Centers.
