The foundation of the San Francisco Vikings' Travel Team Program is to develop the whole player. Our coaches provide an environment that encourages each player to achieve their highest potential, both as an individual and as a member of a team.
Through the spirit of cooperation and competition, our program fosters the physical and mental development that is necessary to excel at soccer in a healthy character-building environment that combines fun and excellence for youth soccer players year-round. |

Players must demonstrate the commitment, positive attitude, good sportsmanship, spirit of cooperation and the physical abilities necessary to play competitive soccer. Our travel teams practice several times a week, play at least six months a year and compete in tournaments and games outside San Francisco. Monthly team fees are approximately $70 per month and financial assistance is available to families that qualify. No player will be denied a place on a team due to financial issues.
The foundation of our Travel Team Program is individual player development. We believe that having fun and developing as a player are inseparable and we promote a spirit of cooperation and competition. Our Travel Teams foster the physical and mental development that is necessary to excel at soccer in a healthy, character-building environment that encourages each child to achieve his or her highest potential. |

Travel Team vs. Rec Soccer |
|
How does Travel Team or competitive soccer differ from recreational soccer? Being part of a Travel Team requires a significantly greater commitment of time and dedication on the part of the players, family members, coaches and volunteers. Travel Teams practice several times a week, compete more than six months a year, and are often referred to as "traveling teams" as they play games and tournaments outside of San Francisco.
The San Francisco Vikings Soccer Club encourages boys and girls from throughout our community to participate in the Travel Team try-outs. Our goal is to provide a team for every child who has the commitment and physical ability to be a successful Travel Team player. |

| Monthly team fees for Travel Team players are approximately $70 per month for coaching/training fees. In addition, there are additional expenses, such as uniforms, balls, tournaments, etc. that these fees do not cover. While these fees are low in comparison to other clubs that we contacted, we realize that this may still be a financial hardship to some families. Financial assistance is available to families that qualify. There is a limited amount of scholarship funds available this year. These funds will be distributed to players based on need. The Club also needs volunteers to assist with various tasks during the year whether it is on the fields or in the office. Some of your fees can be defrayed by your participation in our volunteer program.Please don't hesitate to call SFVSC at 415.753.3111or email Libby Rappolt for more information. |
