• Please complete a new player/family profile or login to the portal if you have registered a previous year with PSC.
• Select the appropriate Fall season soccer registration option once you’ve established an account.
• Complete ALL steps of the online registration process. Skipping steps will slow the process for our registrar to place your player on a rec team.

Recreational Players and Teams

No tryouts are required for PSC recreational level teams. Players are assigned to teams by the respective PSC Age Group Coordinators based on buddy and coach requests and availability on teams. Player preferences will be accommodated to the extent possible. Teams will be ‘flighted’ to play recreational teams of similar age and ability in the Jack London Youth Soccer League (JLYSL).

Sunday-only Teams

PSC strives to host at least one team in each age/gender division which plays only on Sundays during the Fall and Spring seasons, provided there are sufficient coaches and players to form a team. PSC has done this on behalf of the entire Jack London Youth Soccer League for many years. These teams give preference to families who have custody, language school or religious conflicts with a Saturday schedule. Typically, all our other teams have games on either Saturday or Sunday during the Fall and Spring seasons.This option needs to be checked on the registration form.

Playing Outside of Your Age Group

Players who wish to play up in the next age group or play down with their classmates must obtain the approval of both the Age Group Coordinator of the ‘correct’ age group and the Age Group Coordinator of the age group that the player is looking to play into. To obtain permission, the player (or parent) should email both Age Group Coordinators with the request. The request should include the player’s name, grade in Fall and a brief explanation of why the player wishes to play up. Email addresses for the Age Group Coordinators can be found on our Contact page.
