Time Commitment- Travel Soccer

Travel players are expected to make a full commitment to MUSC and their team. Conflicts between MUSC games and practices to participate with other sports or teams may result in loss of game playing time and forfeiture of the players place on the roster. Keep in mind that many potential soccer players may not get the chance to play and would love the opportunity that someone else may take for granted. MANY players play both Middle School soccer and MUSC Travel Soccer. In these instances every effort is made to accomodate players to avoid over training while still keeping up with teammates.
