The ENCO United Pre-Travel Programs are the very beginning of our youth soccer development program, specifically designed for players in the U4-U8 age groups. This dedicated pathway provides a nurturing yet engaging structure where young athletes take their first steps in the beautiful game. Our curriculum focuses on building crucial foundational skills such as dribbling, passing, and ball control through fun, age-appropriate drills and small-sided games. Rather than emphasizing a competitive win-at-all-costs mentality, the pre-travel pathway prioritizes individual player growth and a love for soccer, setting a strong base for their future journey. ​The goal of our Pre-Travel pathway is to provide the youngest age group with the skills and awareness that will best prepare them to be apart of one of our travel teams when they reach the appropriate age group. 

​

We recently restructured our Pre-Travel programs to provide stronger pathways for development. See below for the details around which program your child is eligible for based on their date of birth, and scroll to the bottom of the page to see what is included in each program:
