KASL's Travel League is our competitive soccer program that plays against teams from surrounding towns and communities.  It provides younger soccer players with a comprehensive training and playing experience in order to prepare them for the more competitive programs in Junior and Senior High School, as well as Classic/Cup Team Soccer.  We strive to create an environment where players are allowed to flourish in a competitive arena in which skill development (not winning) is the determinant of success, where quality and long-term benefits are more important than short-term gains.

Education of players and parents in club values and age-appropriate player development. Flexibility in program rules so that teaching takes precedence over game administration. Outcomes are learning and fun - not scores and standings.  Travel soccer is designed for players and parents who are willing to make a higher level of commitment in time, effort, training and competition. Players who have shown an interest and ability greater than most in-house recreational players can benefit from moving to the travel league.

 

Games are played on Sundays at "home" and "away".  In a season, games are typically 50/50 home and away games, but this can vary slightly. For D6 and D5 games, the furthest we travel is normally about an hour and a half.  But most games are much closer.  Games at the D4 level can be further away, about to about 2 hours.  For example, our U12 Girl D4 Team played teams from Wheeling and Morgantown, WV.  Transporting to away games would be the responsibility of the parents

The leagues are organized by age group and gender, and within age groups, there are different divisions, dictated by interest and competitiveness.

Travel Teams play in a tiered system of Divisions.  With D6 being the lowest and D1 the highest.  Travel Team typically play in D6, D5 and D4 tiers.  D3-D1 are know as the Classic Division, and is a even higher level of competition.
