CLASS 4 (RECREATIONAL) REGISTRATION FEES AND OTHER INFORMATION

The base registration fee will be $185 per player for all U10 and older recreational level teams. For the 2010/2011 season, ALL players will be required to purchase uniforms in connection with the Club’s new uniform program. The uniform fee, which must be paid in addition to the base registration fee, will be $50 per player. A $50 late fee will apply to all registrations received after May 10th. Registration closes for U10 through U19 teams on May 31, 2010. Registrations received after May 31st will be accepted on a space available basis only. Class 4 league and team drafts are expected to be held in early June.

Registration for U8 and U6 leagues will extend through June 30, 2010. Registration fees are $175 for U8 and $100 for U6. There is no separate uniform fee for the U8 or U6 age groups. In addition, there is no late fee, but please try to register between April 1 and June 30th. Registrations received after May 31st will be accepted on a space available basis only. Please note that U6 teams will be coed. Teams for U8 players will be girls- and boys-only, rather than coed.

No tryouts are required for PSC recreational level teams. Players are assigned to teams by coaches and the respective age group coordinators, and all U10 and older teams are formed in accordance with the PSC player draft process. Player preferences will be accommodated to the extent reasonably possible, but please keep in mind that player preferences cannot be guaranteed. Recreational teams are "flighted" with the goal of having them play teams of similar age and ability.

PSC will host one team in each age division and for each gender that will play only on Sundays during the fall season. We do this on behalf of the entire Jack London Youth Soccer League. These teams give preference to families who have custody, language school or religious conflicts with a Saturday schedule. This option needs to be made known during the registration form. For more information, please contact Ephraim Greenwall at vpadmin@piedmontsoccer.org.

To register for a Highlanders or Scots team, you must have been preselected for these teams during the Class 3 tryouts.
