Travel programming
Hershey’s Travel Program is truly one of a kind. Our program is based on the belief that the kids and the community come first. This is one of the reasons that HSC is one of the longest running clubs in the country… 44 years and counting! The Hershey Travel Program is also competitive – offering high level trainers and coaches, speed and agility classes, foot skills clinics, our own in-house goalkeeping program, and the chance to play on our NPSL/WPSL teams. We strive to make sure that your child not only achieves their highest potential on the pitch, but that they also learn the value of sportsmanship and fair play.
Don’t let the word “travel” scare you away from the sport you love. We have many different levels of travel teams that play in different leagues. Some leagues only require minimal travel throughout the Central PA/Greater Harrisburg area, some leagues travel to the Philadelphia area, and some more competitive and older teams may play in leagues that travel even farther than that. Each team, no matter what level, is paired with a high-level paid trainer/coach to ensure athletes get the best training available. Our community based club puts the athletes and their level of play and commitment first – with coaches selecting the right league for their team.
