Levels of Play
Fusion FC offers three programs: Tots, Recreational and Travel.
Fusion Tots is an instructional program for children ages 3, 4, and 5 that focuses on exposing the "tots" to the fundamental skills of soccer in a fun and interactive way before playing organized soccer games.
The Recreational program is an instructional program developed for boys and girls in the U6-U10 age groups that stresses basic skill development while supporting team play and enjoyment of the game. The primary season is in the Fall but we also offer a less formal season in the Spring.
The Travel program is for boys and girls in the U9-U19 age groups. Players are required to try out in the Spring (usually in April/May). The players are evaluated by the club’s Director of Coaching and independent evaluators and assigned to teams with input from the coach. Once the teams are formed and coaches selected by the VP of Travel and Director of Coaching, coaches will notify teams when and where practices will begin. The majority of Travel teams participate in the CPYSL league (Central Pennsylvania Youth Soccer League) but other leagues are available.
Practice
Practice sessions vary depending upon whether the team is a Travel or Recreational. Beyond this, Travel teams in higher postions may practice more often than teams in lower positions. For the Fall season, practices typically begin in July for Travel teams and mid-August for Recreational teams. Winter and Spring practices are at the discretion of the team and coach.
Practices for Recreational teams are held at the Fusion FC Red Land complex at 250 Old Quaker Rd. Travel teams may practice at the Fusion Red Land complex, McLaughlin Field, Lower Allen Township Community Park, or approved fields on West Shore School district property. Practices are usually held twice a week (and sometimes weekends) lasting 1-2 hours, depending on the age group. U6 teams generally practice for one hour and U8 for one to one and half hours.
The Fall season begins the first weekend after Labor Day and ends in early/mid November. The Spring season begins in early/mid April and ends in late May/early June.
All players and parents must agree to the Fusion Code of Conduct.
