experience for our children that balances maximum participation with competitive play in a fun and

challenging environment

– Communication and equal application of team policy is mandatory and will be communicated to the parents and players by the head coach prior to the first practice of the season.

– Team policy will be communicated at the beginning of the season to parents and players by the Coaches

Travel Soccer is a BIG commitment

Program Overview


Program Overview

K - 2nd Grade Pre Travel Training Program

– For K- 2nd Grade Girls and Boys– Curriculum and Program developed by RBYS

in conjunction with the New York Red Bulls– Mix of skills and games designed to help

players make the transition from recreation soccer to competitive travel

– Mondays 3:45pm- 6:15pm (Two 1 hour sessions)


Team Formation

– The RBYS philosophy is a balanced approach in team formation. At the end of each year the teams within the same grade will be evaluated to see if a significant disparity exists. If so, the Executive Board will determine if the teams will be rebalanced at its sole discretion.

– Teams are formed at the Grade Level (not age)

– Playing out of Grade• If there is no available roster spot on the player’s grade appropriate team,

the player may be offered the opportunity to play out of grade by the Executive Board, at its sole discretion

• Age eligible players who are cut from their grade, may only play down a grade if roster spots are available

Program Overview


• Cuts / Team Formation and Creation– Non Rye Brook Players:

• Non Rye Brook players will have no standing over Rye Brook players in regard to roster spots, unless they have participated in the program for a minimum of the full previous year (Fall / Spring).

– Non Committed Players: • A player who leaves their team after the formation of that

team will not be allowed to participate on any RBYS team for a minimum of one season, except if that player circumstance falls within the RBYS Refund Policy (available on the website).

• All Grades

– Club maintains the right to rebalance the teams if the Executive Board deems necessary

– Club maintains the right to create a new team – based on several factors including but not limited to:

• New players register to play, which allow us to meet the minimum requirements for a new team. In addition, the minimum requirements for the existing teams must be maintained

– In the case that a team loses players to bring it below the minimum roster requirement, ALL teams at the given grade bracket may be subject to either a rating and reshuffling or a tryout and cuts.

• Rating & Reshuffling - enough players still remain for the same # of teams

• Tryout and Cuts - in the case where the number of teams will need to contract and therefore not enough roster spots will exist

Program Overview


• Ratings / Tryouts 2 day independently evaluated sessions

– Ratings / try outs will be conducted by an independent 3rd party soccer evaluator (not the trainers who train those teams whenever possible)

– The rankings will be based on the independent evaluator’s rating of ability, effort and attitude

– All data will be given directly to the Executive Board representative and will be held strictly confidential

– Each session will consist of a combination of small and large sided game play, as well as skills analysis

– The evaluators, in their sole discretion, will manage the format of the day, mixing and matching players
