Travel Late Player Placement

Held in late July to early August, after initial team selections and placements. These player placements are intended for new players that have recently moved into the Charlottesville area, players who could not participate in the annual player placements due to injury or schedule conflicts, or players recommended by SOCA’s Director of Coaching.

Approval from the SOCA Travel Coaching Staff is required in order to participate in the late travel player placements.
For those interested in trying out for SOCA Travel programs, please contact SOCA Coaching Directors Philip Silverman and Gregory Vickrey for travel team roster availability.

Please note:
There are very limited spots available at the Late Travel player placement and it is in the player’s best interest to attend the primary Annual Player Placements, if possible. Coaches are under no obligation to fill roster spots or add players to a roster at the Late player placements.

Challenge Late player placements:

Also occur annually in early August. At the Annual player placements, each Challenge team will typically be formed with a single roster vacancy. The late player placements will seek to fill all such vacancies. Any interested, age-appropriate player may participate in the late Challenge player placements. All eager candidates are welcome to attend. Arrive 15-20 minutes early to check in at the registration tent for your player placements.  If possible please pre-register for the Challenge Late player placement online through your SOCA account.  Selections and team placements will be announced via e-mail as close to the conclusion of the player placements as possible (most likely the following week).

All candidates born from 2010 – 2016 are welcome.
