Spring 2025 Tryouts
The Travel (Competitive Club Program) is for competitive and advanced level players, between the ages of 8 and 15, who demonstrate the desire and ability to learn and play soccer at the next level. We offer a more challenging and competitive playing environment than is typically provided by local recreational leagues.
The primary goal for our competitive team program is to help each player reach his or her maximum potential with regards to soccer, as well as to give our players the best possible resources to develop successful teams.
Competitive teams are formed in the spring or fall of each year through open tryouts and evaluations. Players are accepted to their team for a one - year (12-month) commitment beginning July 1 to June 30th the following year. Competitive first teams practice 1 times per week (with the option of a 2nd training per week) during the fall and spring seasons as well as train weekly during the winter.
Alba FC invites all eligible, U-8 through U-13 boys to join us at open tryouts! Our tryouts will be held every Tuesday & Thursday from 4:30 - 6:00 pm @ Ferry Point Park Turf Field. Address: 299 Hutchinson River Pkwy, Bronx NY, 10465 (next to Whitestone Bridge exit. 18). We are looking for advanced, skillful players with at least 1 season experience in travel youth soccer.
​
If your child seems to be a dominate player in his town or rec program, this is the challenging program he needs to be a part of. We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to play at their best and be part of a club that supports and encourages each and every player to strive to reach maximum potential both as a competitor and a person.
We understand that the choice to join a new club can be filled with many questions and concerns and we welcome the opportunity to discuss any questions you may have with our directors and staff.
Travel Methos of Coaching
Using small sided games to teach
The use of small sided games creates the right environment for player development by allowing players to develop creatively by allowing them to respond to the problems presented by the game.
The game is the best teacher
The best teacher is the game. Our coaches who create a game – like environment during their training sessions have found the key to success.
What is player development
The concept of player development is essential to long term growth and improvement of the player. Player development demands that “the player is central” to all decisions made regarding training and competition.
Practice organization
The game will tell our coaches what the team needs to practice. We say that the game and training have a reciprocal effect. The game indicates what we need to train for and in training we prepare for the game.
