What is Travel Soccer?

Washington Township travel soccer provides the opportunity for teams from our club to compete against similarly skilled teams from other clubs in the South Jersey area.

Washington Township Soccer believes it is important to find a team for all our players to play. On average, we have 35 teams with skill levels that vary greatly. However, sometimes the number of players dictates the number of teams that we can put on the field, and we can’t always accommodate each player at the travel level. Our travel program has limited availability for “out-of-town” players – sometimes this is needed to obtain certain competitive levels, and sometimes this is needed just to field teams.

According to New Jersey Youth Soccer bylaws, the travel soccer year starts in August and ends the following July. The calendar is split into two seasons – Fall (starting in August) and Spring (starting in March). There are typically 10 games in the Fall and 10 games in the Spring for boys and girls travel. Half of the games are home games, so you only travel to approximately five away games each season.  The girls play on Saturdays and the boys play on Sundays.  All games are in the afternoon. Teams practice twice per week at the same time each week.

Since this is travel soccer, traveling to neighboring towns is part of the commitment. Depending on the league placement of your child’s team, away games could be as far north as Princeton – or as far south as Cape May. The majority of towns that participate in the SJSL and SJGSL leagues are from Camden, Burlington, Gloucester, and Salem counties.

Coach Fernando

Director of operations.

Hey Soccer Superstars! I’m Coach Fernando! I’ve always loved soccer and have continued to play since I was four years old. My favorite professional soccer team is Barcelona, but I love watching the the Eagles and 76ers as well. A little bit about me outside of soccer – I love cool cars and recently really got into Formula 1. I enjoy building legos and learning about dinosaurs. Currently, one of my favorite movies is Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse! I’m a kid at heart, and have enjoyed every moment with you and your little ones! I can’t wait to have more fun on Soccer Island!

Hi Soccer Friends, I’m Coach Mac– like Mac and Cheese! I’ve been coaching for soccer shots since my sophomore year of college, in 2019. After graduating from Rowan University in 2022, I took a year off. After realizing how much I missed coaching all of you kiddos, I came back as the new Director of Coaching this year. I just couldn’t stay away from all of the positive energy that comes with coaching a bunch of future soccer stars! I’ve been playing soccer my whole life, and had even had the pleasure of playing travel soccer in England, UK… I lived there for 4 years, since my dad was in the Air Force! I’m so excited to get back on the soccer field and teach you my favorite soccer moves.

Hi Soccer Friends, my name is Coach Nick and I have been part of Soccer Shots since the Summer of 2019. I played soccer all my life up until high school where I played at Eastern.

I look forward to getting out on Soccer Island with you and your little ones.
