Because of expanded rosters Metro United Academy asks players upfront to select specific travel events. The Metro United Academy staff then selects players for specific events. In the past academy year we asked players to commit to 5 away trips per player.
Metro United Academy Management arranges travel packages for each away trip. Players committed to the specified away games buy the travel package. The Academy teams travel as a group with the Academy staff. Travel packages include airfare(if necessary), ground transportation, hotel ( 4 players per room) and coaches expenses. Players pay for their own meal.
Below is our travel policies and an example of our travel itinerary.
