Registration is now open. These are only open to those players already registered for one of our travel teams, - not Rec! If you are looking for Winter Indoor Rec, please click here.
*NEW* We've added 3 more options for this winter... see below. These are optional, and at additional cost for all players.
Each winter, MTSC travel teams have additional playing opportunities at Iron Peak Sports in Hillsborough and Otto Kaufman Community Center in Skillman.
For our EDP and HS-Aged Teams, please click here for your winter info.
For all other Travel Teams, these winter programs are NOT included in your annual travel fee; they are completely optional and require separate registration. So, if your player wants to take the winter off (other sports, or just a rest), no problem -- once the fall season ends we'll see you when spring practice starts in early March (the Spring season IS included in your annual travel fee).
We got feedback that parents would like more / varied options for winter play, so we'll have 5 weekly options available for our travel players:
-- Sunday indoor scrimmages at OKCC
-- Tuesday indoor team practices at Iron Peak
-- Wednesday indoor Ball Skills at Iron Peak
-- Wednesday indoor Goalie / Striker Training at Iron Peak
-- Friday/Saturday indoor Iron Peak League
-- *NEW* 1v1 Clinic with Coach Jeremy
-- *NEW* Defender Clinic with Coach Alex
-- *NEW* Intensive Training with Coach Lew (Limited to 6 players, fee $ 375)
Players are welcome to participate in as few or as many as they'd like. Generally, these will meet for 8 weeks, from the week of Jan 5 through the week of Feb 23, with some exceptions, see below. $ 25 discount for multiple registrations.
Please register SOON. On Dec 15, we'll assess the registrations. If a given session/team does not have enough players registered, we'll combine it with another session/team, or cancel the session and refund that fee.

Weekly Indoor Fri/Sat League at Iron Peak: This 7v7 indoor league will run for 6 weeks, weekly on either Friday evenings or Saturday mornings, from Jan 9/10 to Feb 13/14. The fee is $ 220. We've found that Iron Peak does not post the dates/times until just a few days before the match, so we cannot tell you up front if your matches will be on Friday evenings or Saturday mornings. When registering, please indicate if you can only make one or the other. This league is not flighted as the fall/spring leagues are, so there is a chance that opponents can be mismatched. On Dec 15th, the coaches will assess both the number of players registered/available and the expected opponents. We'll only field a team if there are enough available players, and the coaches believe that team will have a positive experience in the league. If we do not field your player's team, we'll issue a refund.
