Chesapeake United Soccer Club
Travel Program: U9-U19
The Travel Program at Chesapeake United is the highest level of play for ages U-9 to U-19. Teams participate in the Virginia Soccer League (VSLi) and typically play 8-10 games per season against other club travel teams. In addition, teams participate in 2 to 4 tournaments a season. VSLi league play is generally against teams in the Hampton Roads area with occasional games in Richmond. Tournaments will typically be in the State of Virginia but are determined after tryouts by the Chesapeake United Technical staff, coaches and team members. Players participating in open tryouts each spring are assigned to teams based on age and skill level. Tryouts for all new and returning players and online registration are required for the new soccer year.
If you still have questions about the Travel Program, please contact Kristin Carden at KC@ChesapeakeUnited.org.
