Far Post Soccer Club

What ages and levels does Far Post Soccer Club offer?Far Post serves players about six through nineteen. Through roughly age eight the focus is foundational skills and love of the game with room to step in or out. From about eight to nineteen the club fields competitive travel teams, including Premier and Club tracks, high-school teams, and Academy-style U17–U19 groups so different commitment levels can stay inside one club culture.

Where does the club train and play?Indoor training for the core winter block uses the Robert E. Miller Centre North at the Champlain Valley Expo in Essex Junction. Outdoor work for many teams shifts to Veteran’s Memorial Park in South Burlington for spring, with optional fall sessions and Sunday games there for families who want that extra season. Special events such as the April team weekend use Golden Goal Park in Fort Ann, New York.

How do tryouts and registration work?Interested players register for tryouts through PlayMetrics, even if they might miss a scheduled date. U10 uses a play day and information session rather than traditional cuts. Older age groups hold two formal tryout periods per band when forming Premier and Club rosters, and cuts may happen if numbers require it. Players who need a late look can contact the club to arrange a trial once roster rules allow.

What does travel-team soccer cost for 2025–26?Travel bundles for 2025–26 run about $1,425 for U10 ($325 deposit plus eight monthly installments near $137.50 October–May), about $1,730 for U11–U12 ($325 deposit and eight payments near $175.63), and about $1,850 for U13–U19 ($350 deposit and eight payments near $187.50). Those fees cover November–June team training, coaching, mandatory third futsal session, two travel tournaments plus Alliance Cup, spring training day, state cup when offered for eligible ages, and regionals registration. Uniforms, optional fall play, optional early futsal sessions, camps, and extra tournaments cost extra.

What is Far Post’s playing philosophy?The club teaches possession-with-a-purpose soccer rooted in Dutch total-football ideas, with a progressive curriculum aligned to U.S. Soccer initiatives, strong technical work, and staff who include college-level experience. Individual development is treated as more important than any single scoreline, while still chasing high-level competition inside Vermont and beyond.

Is financial aid available?Yes. The Bill Kohlasch Scholarship Fund supports travel-team families with demonstrated need; applicants are expected to show commitment through attendance and effort, and recipients complete a thank-you letter plus volunteer service. Aid applies only to travel tuition. Families start the request inside the PlayMetrics travel registration flow and can email admin@farpostsoccerclub.com with questions.

How can families contact the club?Email admin@farpostsoccerclub.com or call (802) 872-8860. Mail goes to PO Box 5575, Essex Junction, VT 05453. The contact list also includes the club director, heads of administration, indoor league management, and age-group directors of coaching for targeted questions.
