It is a competitive team that plays against similar age/gender teams from other area clubs in the Rochester area (e.g., Pittsford, Fairport, Greece, Penfield, Webster).

Indoor training sessions will start in the late Fall and continue through April. Training is typically once a week during the winter and twice a week beginning in April, but can vary based on the coaches discretion. The travel coach may also elect to participate in indoor league and/or indoor tournaments.

Outdoor training sessions start in early Spring with travel coach discretion on the practice times per week. 
There are 12 RDYSL league games starting in May going through July and the coach may elect to play in 1 to 3 outdoor tournaments as well (league games are during the weekdays & tournaments are on the weekends).

Registration takes place online during the month of August, with try-outs taking place on two consecutive weekends in September.

Please contact the appropriate coordinator prior to tryouts if you would like to be considered for a team in a higher age bracket:

Players currently playing up with the first (highest division) team in an age group may attend that team’s tryout and are not required to try out with their age appropriate team. Players currently playing up on the second (lower division) team in an age group or playing up with a different club, must attend both age group’s tryouts in accordance with the policy.

Pool play is a process that can be used by a coach when their roster is above 18 players. It allows the “sharing” of the 18 roster position between the 18 and up to the 22 roster position (max allowed by RDYSL). This can be, and should be; only utilized when a team’s roster is above 18 players.

Example: Team A has a roster of 19 players. Players 18 and 19 have been identified as the pool players, (most likely objectively through the tryout process). Players 18 and 19 will share the 18th roster spot on game days. In this example, 2 players will each only be eligible to play in 6 games for the season, thus allowing Team A to have 19 players and still game roster 18 players for each game. These players are full members of the team but are only eligible for half the games. The pool play position can be used up to the allowable roster size of 22 players. If there were 4 pool players identified on a team, in a 12 game season, each player would be eligible to play in 3 games each. This does not guarantee playing time, as always playing time is up to the head coach. Pool play only guarantees that the player is eligible to play in those three games.
