Rochester District Youth Soccer League

"Travel Soccer" implies the general area of Rochester, NY and the towns located within this area. This is not travel soccer in the sense of traveling to other cities. Our teams compete in the RDYSL, which includes the counties of Genesee, Livingston, Monroe, Ontario, Orleans and Wayne. All competitions are within a convenient drive time.

Our player registration fees are nominal, and our teams train and compete beginning in late fall and throughout the winter months. Pre-register with no obligation, or contact us for more information.

Mission Statement for Metros Travel Soccer

We work to improve the level of play for each player, and to show players how much fun they can have learning the sport of soccer. We teach them the value of teamwork, sportsmanship, and fitness while considering their individual development. 

We consider the 09U-12U age groups to be developmental, while the ages 13U-19U are typically increasing levels of competitive play. Metros Travel Soccer is an organized, safe, and enjoyable soccer experience for kids who want to play throughout the school year.

Metros FC Player Registration is now open. Please be sure to choose the correct team/coach in the drop down menu. You may choose from full payment, or payment plan, options at checkout. A payment plan divides registration fees into three equal payments, and will automatically deduct from the credit card or checking account you provide at checkout. Second and third payments are scheduled for October 16, and  November 20, respectively. All transactions are performed via the SportsEngine network and a secure payment transaction system.
