About the Piedmont Youth Soccer ClubThe Piedmont Youth Soccer Club (PSC) is a volunteer organization founded in 1976 and now incorporated as a California Non-profit Public Benefits 501(c)(3) corporation. The purpose of the PSC is to develop, promote, and administer the game of soccer among youth under the age of nineteen without regard to race, creed, sex or ability in the City of Piedmont. The members of the PSC Board help run the program. They register kids, form teams, assign coaches, schedule fields and referees for games and practices, mediate problems, order and distribute uniforms and help you and your players have a successful and fun-filled season. PSC is part of the Jack London Youth Soccer League (JLYSL) which is one of many leagues state-wide that, collectively, are members of the California Youth Soccer Association (CYSA), over 200,000 soccer players strong. CYSA, along with Youth Soccer Associations from other state in the U.S., are part of the 3,000,000 member United States Youth Soccer Association ("USYSA"), which governs youth soccer in the country.JLYSL was formed by six clubs: Alameda, Grass Valley, Montclair, Oakland, Piedmont, and Rockridge, each of which sponsor the Bay Oaks. The general philosophy of USYSA, CYSA, and JLYSL is to make a level of play available that is comfortable for all soccer players. To that end, three levels were created:
Bay Oaks was created by the JLYSL and its member clubs to represent JLYSL as the Class I traveling team in each age group. It was also made available to offer the most skillful players in each age group an opportunity to learn from selected coaches with years of experience and training. Any player from the member clubs may try out for the Bay Oaks and, if selected, play for a Bay Oaks team. © 2004,05,06,07,08,09,10 Piedmont Youth Soccer Club. All rights reserved. |
