Through 4th grade, players may participate in both programs at the same time, subject to the limits shown on this chart.

Beginning in 5th grade, Arlington Soccer does not allow players to participate on both a Travel team and a Recreational team during the same season. Travel teams include any teams that require tryouts, including PAC teams, whether they are based in Arlington or outside the county.
