Recreational Soccer Details

In our Recreational Soccer program, we offer Co-ed teams in divisions U-8, U-10, U-12 and U-14. We offer Girls only teams in divisions U-10, U-12 and U-14. It is your responsibility to choose the appropriate divisions when registering! Players are not allowed to change from co-ed to girls or vice-versa once teams are established.

We offer U-6 soccer (for 4K and 5K students) in spring only. Registration for the 2009 U-6 Spring session will be in February/March 2009 for games in Spring 2009. Information will be sent home with students and be published in the local papers.

Co-ed U-8 and Co-ed U-10 play all games at QQO in Plymouth. All other recreational divisions play within the Lakeshore District area (Cedar Grove, Howards Grove, Sheboygan, Sheboygan Falls, & Plymouth). All teams have games on Saturdays and one practice per week. The Fall season begins in September and the Spring season begins in April. Practice days/times are determined by the coach in August, after the teams are established. It is not possible to request a team based on the practice schedule. The fall season and spring season schedules will be distributed to teams prior to the start of each season, and they will be posted on our website as soon as possible.

Any game cancellations are announced through our phone line, 892-PYSA (7972). If games are cancelled, individual teams can arrange to make-up the game if desired by contacting the opposing team, contacting QQO for field availability, and contacting our Referee Coordinator, for assigning a referee. PYSA does not plan to schedule make-up games for the entire organization.

Recreational Teams are formed through a computer program. Siblings within the same division will be placed on the same team unless otherwise requested. Volunteer coaches will have their own child(ren) on their team (if the appropriate division) unless otherwise requested. PYSA primarily follows grade level to determine the appropriate division (age is a secondary determiner).

· U-6 division: 4K & 5K (this is only offered in Spring 2009)

· U-8 division: 1^st & 2^nd grade or ages 6 & 7 as of August 1, 2008

· U-10 division: 3^rd & 4^th grade or ages 8 & 9 as of August 1, 2008

· U-12 division: 5^th & 6^th grade or ages 10 & 11 as of August 1, 2008

· U-14 division: 7^th & 8^th grade or ages 12 & 13 as of August 1, 2008

Select Soccer Details

Select soccer is for those players that want to develop their technical skills and abilities, become a more complete soccer player, and understand the importance of teamwork while competing against higher level competitive teams. Select soccer develops the complete player so they learn to play possession-oriented soccer within a team environment. Players who are capable of playing in this manner will continue to play at higher levels at the club level, high school and possibly college. Generally, 80% to 100% of high school soccer team starters played select soccer.

Players must try-out to be part of a Select Soccer team. Select Soccer try-outs are open to ALL PLAYERS who wish to participate. Try-outs will be held on May 28, 29, & 30 at the Toro Soccer Fields (off corner of Hwy 57 & PP). The Boys’ tryouts will be held from 5:30 - 7:00 pm and the Girls’ tryouts will be from 7:00 - 8:30 pm.

Select Soccer Teams/Divisions are determined by the number of players who participate successfully in try-outs. Select soccer players are evaluated by coaches to determine whether they have the ability to play at the select level. Player selection is at the discretion of the coach and not every player who tries out is guaranteed a place on a select team. Select practices are held twice a week with games on the weekends. Games are played at QQO as well as in the Milwaukee area and surrounding communities. Carpooling with other players and families is standard for the Select Soccer level and although parents are encouraged to attend games, it is not required.

Even if you plan to try-out for Select Soccer, you must first register through our Recreational Soccer Program via on-line or in-person registration. If you are chose to be part of a Select Soccer Team, your recreational registration fee will be applied to your Select Soccer fees. Select Soccer fees can range from $100 - $200 per year and will vary depending on the equipment and supplies that are required by the team, as well as the number of tournaments in which the team elects to participate. Corporate sponsorships and fund raising activities help defer Select Soccer costs.

Parents of Select Soccer teams are not required to volunteer through PYSA, so if your child is selected to be part of a Select Soccer team, you will not be obligated to fulfill your volunteer choice unless you also have children in the recreational soccer program. Select parents may be asked to support the select team in fundraising activities, however.

Questions related to Select Soccer may be directed to our Select Coordinator.

Required Equipment

T-shirts are provided to all Recreational players. All players need shin guards covered completely by socks, short/pants with no pockets, snaps, zippers or metal and Soccer shoes (no front cleat). Fleet Farm, K-Mart, Wal-Mart, Rogan’s Shoes and Dunham’s carry required soccer equipment (some seasonally). Referees will enforce the soccer equipment requirements and players not appropriately outfitted will not be allowed to play.
