The mission of the SOCA travel program is to provide advanced development through a competitive game and team training environment. Player development takes place through elevated commitment and competition.
SOCA Travel teams represent the Charlottesville and Albemarle community within their league and at various tournament and invitational events. There are multiple levels of travel team programming; Blue teams represent the top level of selected travel teams. The Travel program is at the pinnacle of SOCA’s local youth programming and seeks to prepare players to compete at all levels locally, as well as for further levels of the game of soccer. Player participation requires commitment, dedication, and significant ability.
The SOCA Travel program is proudly sponsored by acac Fitness and Wellness Centers.
