Fall 2025 - Spring 2026 Travel Program is for all eligible players that attend grades 3 through 8 in the 2025-2026 school year. Players are separated by gender and placed on teams based on ability.

Woburn Youth Soccer participates in the Essex County Youth Soccer League. Teams generally practice two evenings a week and play games on Saturdays either home in Woburn or away at any of the cities within the Northeast and the North Shore areas. Fall games typically start the Saturday after Labor Day and spring games typically start the second Saturday in April.

Being selected to play in the WYS Travel Program should be considered an honor, prevents another player from being selected for the team and comes with an implied level of commitment. Both Player and Parent/Guardian should be aware that by accepting placement on the Travel Team, this commitment starts just after Labor Day (2025) and ends at the end of June (2026).

Evaluations are required for players trying out to play Travel and teams are formed and placed into divisions based on the team's composition. Therefore, it is requested that players who register to play Travel soccer follow through with that commitment. There is an impact when players decide not to play after teams are formed since players cannot be easily moved between teams to balance the numbers and teams may be left short on players.

Please note that no one has been placed on a travel team for this upcoming season even if a player is currently on a Travel team or was on a Travel team in a previous year.

All players must attend at least one tryout unless otherwise excused by the Board if they are to be considered for placement on a Travel Team. Attending only one tryout may affect team placement.

In the event that a player cannot attend a tryout, please submit an email to the Registrar or present a written notice at the Check-in time indicating the reason for the absence prior to the start of the tryout. If the Board of Directors finds the excuse acceptable, the player will be eligible for selection. All players that want to be considered for selection to a Travel Team must make the tryouts injured or not, unless excused by the Board through the process referenced above.

The total cost to play on a Grade 3 - 8 Travel team for both the fall and spring season is $280.00. The $280 balance is due to be paid by August 1st after placement on a Travel team.

The total cost to play on a Grade 9 - 12 + PG Travel team for the 2026 Spring season is $160.00.

Players not selected for a Travel team will be placed on a City League team or placed on the waitlist.

The cost to play City League is $180 for both the Fall and Spring seasons.
