Programs

Levels of Play
Fusion FC offers several programs: Soccer Shots (hosted by Fusion FC), Fusion Recreational and Fusion Travel.

Soccer Shots is an instructional program for children ages 2-5 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 intramural program developed for boys and girls in the U5-U14 age groups that stresses basic skill development while supporting team play and enjoyment of the game.  The season encompasses Fall and Spring, but we offer a Spring-Only option for a lesser fee. All players registered in the Fall are automatically registered for 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 Officials and independent evaluators and assigned to teams with input from the coach.  Once the teams are formed and coaches selected by the VPs of Travel, 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 positions may practice more often than teams in lower positions. For the Fall season, practices typically begin in July/August for Travel teams and late-August for Recreational teams. Winter and Spring practices are at the discretion of the team and coach.

Practices for Recreational teams are held at Fusion's main Red Land/Old Quaker Road Complex at 250 Old Quaker Rd. Travel teams may practice at the main complex or our McLaughlin Field Complex. Travel practices are usually held twice a week (and sometimes weekends) lasting 1-2 hours, depending on the age group. Recreational U5 and U6 teams generally practice for one hour once a week, and U8 and U12 teams practice for one and half hours once a week.

The Fall game season begins on or around the first weekend in September and ends in early November. The Spring game season begins in early April and ends in late May/early June.
