Parents, Volunteers and Coaches:
 Welcome Volunteers! Every year, the success of our program is overwhelmingly dependent on having volunteers available in a number of capacities, but mainly to run practices and games. More volunteers means smaller teams and more time on the field for each player. U.S. Soccer, PA West and MAYSA continue to lead the way in Youth Sports Safety and Training. This season's Parent/Volunteer/Coach training includes a new volunteer online training video/class designed to provide child safety guidance to all volunteers in addition to standard clearances. Additionally, resources for parents are also available through PA West's initiative with the U.S. Center for SAFESPORT. Parents:

Summer Pickup Soccer K-2
The Spirit of our Summer Pickup Soccer Program is to provide a less structured, pickup game atmosphere for our youngest soccer players (i.e., currently eligible for K through 2nd grade). We believe that for this very young age group having fun, getting "touches" and simply playing will go a long way towards helping further their skill set and a love of the game. Join us this June on Wednesday evenings! 
Click here to Register. Or learn more here: Summer Soccer Honor the game! Fall In-House soccer begins Aug. 30. In-House is for children eligible for K-6th grade.
