Additionally, we offer an indoor session (ages U6 through high school, and adults over 30) that plays during the winter (Jan-Feb) at Patrick Henry High School.

March for the spring season. Practices generally start after Labor
Day (fall season) and mid-March (spring season).

Richmond Kickers--travel (competitive) teams
(top)
AYSL is affiliated with the Richmond Kickers.
Members of the Kickers coaching staff and players offer our league clinics for players and coaches.
Richmond Kickers Travel Soccer Link
AYSL, through the Kickers, offers players the opportunity to play for
competitive travel teams; the Advanced Youth Development Teams
(ADSL) for players U-12
and below who are interested in competitive soccer, and Travel teams for
ages U-13 through U18.
These teams form the North Division of the Richmond Kickers Youth
Club. Team membership is by tryout. Tryouts are held each May for the Fall and Spring seasons,
with a supplemental tryout for some teams in the spring if slots
are available. The 2009-2010 fee structure and payment schedule is described here:
http://www.richmondkickers.com/youth/travel/311956.html, consideration for scholarships
is available for those who can demonstrate a financial need.
Travel divisions currently start
with U-9, but is subject to change depending on availability of qualified
players and coaches. If there are insufficient numbers for a given age
group in the Ashland area, the Kickers will occasionally combine players to form
a North-Central team. These teams may practice at Bryan Park (about 20
minutes south of Ashland) for part of
the season. ADSL (U9-U12) teams play other Development/Travel
teams in the Richmond Metro area, and may play one to two tournaments
per season, usually in the Richmond Metro area. U13 and older classic travel teams play teams from a slightly wider geographical
area (see http://www.vasoccerleague.com), and generally play two tournaments each
season--typically one of these tournaments is out of town (generally within easy
driving distance, e.g. VA Beach, Northern VA, Northern NC, etc.). Most
regular games are on Saturday, a few are on Sunday.
