TRAVEL SOCCER:

• Strikers plays in the Fall Classic League administered by SoccerMaine, which is the governing body of youth soccer in the State of Maine.Information on SoccerMaine can be found at their website, www.soccermaine.com.
   
• The Fall season typically runs from August through early November for participation in SoccerMaine district and Challenge Cup events. There are 6 league games, most of which are scheduled on Sundays, with the first game typically on the last Sunday in August.  In addition, coaches may schedule between 1- 5 exhibition/friendly matches.  In addition, there are two (2) practices a week.  There are two (2) tournaments: one over Columbus Day weekend and another tournament at the end of the season.
   
• Players are expected to make a full commitment to Strikers and their team. Conflicts between Strikers games and practices and participation with other sports or teams may result in loss of game playing time. It should be noted that this is a commitment and all players should understand their obligations. It is a team sport.
   
• Our coaches are volunteers!!!!
   
• Still have questions about travel soccer? Please see our FAQ page or email us @ strikerssouthportland@gmail.com.   We look forward to answering any questions you may have or providing you with further information.
