BSA’s travel teams play in a couple outdoor leagues.  OHTSL (Ohio Travel Soccer League) has teams that are generally within the Cleveland area suburbs.  Travel time to most away games in OHTSL is 45 minutes or less, but may be more in some rare cases.  There are usually 8 games in a session (e.g. Fall).

State League is for players who wish to play at a premier level and are willing to travel a bit further.  State League away games are in Northern Ohio and usually have no more than a two-hour drive time.

Other than a rare occasion, games are scheduled on the weekends.  OHTSL games are typically on Sundays.

All travel teams have several weeknight outdoor practices up at the Blossom Hill fields.  There are two team practices per week that last 1.5 hours each.  There also is one “street soccer” practice per week that lasts 1.5 hours, which focuses more on skill development in a fun atmosphere.

BSA offers fun optional Winter training sessions that are suggested for travel team players, and highly recommended for State League players.

In March, after the second Winter session, BSA begins the Spring session by hosting indoor practices once a week at an indoor facility.  The normal outdoor Blossom Hill practice schedule resumes in April.

Most teams participate in a tournament in the Fall session as well as in the Spring session.

A couple examples of recent past tournaments are:

• Bay Challenge Cup - Fall in Bay Village, OH
• Bothwell Cup - Fall in Canton, OH
• Medina Invitational Soccer Tournament - Spring in Medina, OH
