About Burke AC Travel Soccer

The Burke AC travel program provides a more competitive and advanced playing opportunity for its participants.

  • Provide an opportunity for players who both desire more advanced play and have appropriate level of knowledge, skills, and abilities
     
  • Meet the developmental needs of a travel player, taking into account a player’s physical, mental, and social growth and developmental needs as well as player and parent commitment
     
  • Establish and maintain competitive teams in the National Capital Soccer League (NCSL) and EDP Soccer League
