Travel Soccer Commitment :
The season starts the 1^st full week of August with games starting late August weekends. A typical week would include two practices and games on Saturday, Sunday, or both days. All players are expected to attend all practices and games. The season ends late October or early November. The Gorham Travel Soccer program has helped to develop outstanding Varsity and Collage soccer players. However, travel soccer is a fairly heavy time and physical commitment for the players and their parents. Everyone needs to know in advance what is expected. We have exceptional municipal recreation programs and school programs for those who do not want the extra commitment.

"I have missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. On 26 occasions I have been entrusted to take the game-winning shot...and missed. I have failed over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."

- Michael Jordan
