The Deer Park Soccer Club has many travel teams in both the boys and girls divisions. Tryouts are generally held to select players for a team. Commitment is essential for anyone interested in playing travel soccer. The players work hard to advance their skills and knowledge of the game. Our individual teams register with the LIJSL and play other clubs throughout Long Island. Within the travel program, teams play at their own proficiency level. To promote fair competition, there are divisions from 1 (the highest skills) on up. Travel teams typically range from under 10 years old, (U-10) through under 18 years old (U-18). Team size varies by age division. Travel soccer is very competitive and is under the direction of the Long Island Junior Soccer League (LIJSL) who provide schedules, referees and a competitive atmosphere. Sportsmanship awards are presented by the LIJSL to teams in every division.
