Premier Travel

The mission of the Premier Travel Program is to provide advanced development through a competitive game and training environment. Player development takes place through dedicated training, elevated commitment and competition.

Premier teams are based in Augusta County and typically play home games at Ridgeview Park.  These teams represent the highest level of play offered in Staunton, Waynesboro and Augusta and compete in the top divisions of the Virginia Premier Soccer League.  Premier teams are the destination for Augusta United’s most ambitious players and for some, may offer a path of advancement to the Skyline Elite Soccer Club.

    VPSL league play consists of 8-10 matches per season. Additional friendly matches and scrimmages will be arranged seasonally by Augusta United’s Director of Coaching. Premier teams will compete in two tournaments per season, typically one prior and one following the fall and spring season.

    U15-18/19 teams will compete in the Fall VPSL season only and will be eligible for spring High School play.

    In the U15-U18/19 age groups, there is an emphasis on the technical, tactical, physical and psychological components of the game and preparing players for possible collegiate opportunities but more importantly, preparing for a successful high school season.

    In the U14-U11 age groups, there is a heavy emphasis on the technical development (skills/fundamentals) of each player.

Players commit to participate for the entire year.  U15-U19 girls and boys teams will play in the fall season only, while the U11-U14 boys and girls teams are expected to play in both the fall and spring season.

    There are no refunds after the registration deadline in June. Players must commit to participating for the full year by this time. Exceptions are only made for medical reasons or family relocation.
