United Soccer Program - U7-U15 - Boys and Girls

What is the Program?

The United Travel Soccer Program is designed to create an atmosphere and environment where young athletes in the Toledo area can learn to compete at a high level while at the same time developing as young individuals. This program is designed for boys and girls who are currently aged 6-15.

This program extends from August to June, offers two practices/week, league play, and tournament play. Our coaches use the philosophies from US Youth Soccer and Ohio Soccer Association, in conjunction with our High School Lady Generals Soccer Program, to develop the skills necessary to play the game of soccer throughout the season -- dribbling, shooting, passing, defense, field awareness, etc. Focusing on the fundamentals and strategies, and applying them to a game setting is to prepare them for the organized soccer that continues into U16-U18 club soccer and high school soccer.
