SPRING 2023 TRAVEL PLUS Soccer
The Travel Plus Philosophy
Travel Plus is the first step in developing into a fine player who will enjoy the game and have the confidence on and off the field to try new things. Here at Campton, our Travel Plus Coaches introduce players to the basics of training, coordination, technique, skills, and rules of the game. Priority is given to learning the foundational skills, becoming comfortable with the ball at their feet, and developing a teamwork mentality to progress and have fun within the sport. These goals are achieved by following a carefully crafted curriculum based upon core elements written by US Youth Soccer for players aged 5-10.
Our Travel Plus Staff and Youth Technical Director all possess US Soccer coaching licensure and are more than qualified to help start any young player's journey into soccer with Campton United.
Travel Plus Structure
Families are allowed to register for one or multiple Travel Plus sessions (Fall, Winter 1, Winter 2, Spring), whatever best fits their player's schedule. Each 6-week program provides players with two soccer interactions each week, one weekday and one weekend session.

FALL 2022: September 7 - Saturday, October 15, 2022.
WINTER 2022: November 1- November 19 & November 29 - December 17, 2022.

SUMMER 2023: June 5- July 22, 2023.
Practice & Game Sessions
Each session lasts one hour; with the weekday session modeling a Campton Youth Elite practice (specific to 2013-2018 age groups).
- This training session includes a fun warm-up activity, then we progress onto a skills focused activity that promotes ball mastery and individual technical skills for our players, and finally we end with small sided games and scrimmage.
The weekend session also lasts 60 minutes but this session models an official game:
- After a short warm-up, we divide and play in-house scrimmage games against players from within the Travel Plus program.
Our weekend games are played on Saturdays between the hours of 11:00am-3pm at our Dean & Peck park fields & Campton Indoor facility (3N800 Peck Road, Saint Charles, IL, 60174). Each week the Youth Director will communicate exact game times for each group. Game times stay consistent week to week.
Skeleton kick-off times:
Saturday Games Starts: 11:15am, 12:30pm, 1:45pm.
Travel Plus Cost
The cost of a full Travel Plus program session is $150 for all players. Players must also make a one-time purchase of the official Travel Plus soccer uniform. This Travel Plus training/game kit includes a Nike Dri-Fit top, Nike shorts, and Nike socks ($70). New players that register as '+Uniform' receive their full uniform kit on their first day.
Summary
In essence, we strive to create a player friendly environment that helps kids make a smooth transition to the next level. That next level is of course full-time travel soccer and for many it is a full-time Campton Travel Player.
Appropriate Coach-to-Player ratio is a priority so players are encouraged to sign up as soon as possible. Travel Plus program communication will come directly from the program's Youth Technical Director, Angel Pedraza or Travel Plus Program Coordinator, Taylor Ortiz
