Silver Spring Soccer Club
Boys Travel Program 2026-2027
Program Information
The 2026/2027 season runs from mid-August to mid-June. Our academy program is a 10-month program with breaks during Thanksgiving and Christmas/New Year holiday weeks. Our U8 teams practice twice a week, and our U9 and older teams practice two to three times a week. We participate in leagues and tournaments during the fall, winter, and spring seasons.
Team Levels and Commitments
We offer two levels in most age groups based on the player's skills and commitment level.
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
We believe that every child, regardless of their family income status, should have the opportunity to play travel soccer. We provide scholarships to families who cannot afford to pay for their kids to play travel soccer. If you are interested, please complete our form, located under the program on Playmetrics.

Travel Expectations
Our U8-U10 teams play 100% local with all the games being played at the Aspen/Olney area. Our U11 and older elite teams will sometimes travel out of the DMV/Baltimore area for league play and tournaments but play at least 75% of their total games within the DMV/Baltimore area. The high school-aged teams travel longer distances for tournaments that may require overnight stays.
