Travel teams for the Cranford Soccer Club are formed on a tryout basis starting at U-9 through U-14 age groups, and play in the Mid-New Jersey Youth Soccer Association (
MNJYSA) leagues. Tryouts are in the late spring for the upcoming season, and offer young players the opportunity to compete against other clubs at a higher level than the recreational programs. The travel program requires a significant time and financial commitment from both the player and their family.
