Thank you for considering signing your child up for soccer this season.

The In-House Program is for U4-U8 players as denoted by the PA West Youth Soccer Age Group Chart.  This program is the starting point for most players and we teach them basic fundamentals and help develop a love for the game.    The following is a brief overview of the program.


Season Schedule

All teams practices for the spring season generally start the last week of March and run through the first of June, and the fall season generally start the last week of August and run through the end of October.  (These times can vary slightly year-to-year).

The Little Dribblers program (U4)  will be every Tuesday starting at 5:30.   Although we have professional trainers, this program is very dependent on parent participation!!  Note:  This program does NOT have Saturday games - everything is on Tuesdays only!

All practices will be held at Northmoreland Park on Tuesday or Thursday evenings depending on age group.  In general, the location of the practices is past the BMX track at the top of the park.  As you drive past the BMX track you will follow the road around the bend and you will see fields on your left and right.   Note on your left side is our concession stand, and this landmark is used often as a reference point to meet with teams.

Games

Games take place on Saturday mornings with most games for U5-U8 occurring either at 9:30am or 10:30am. 


Uniforms

We have switched to a reversible blue/white jersey for each player U5 and up.  They are ordered and will be available to purchase when practices begin.  The cost is approximately $20.  They can be used season after season.  Little Dribblers will still receive a shirt for participating. 


Equipment

Your soccer star will need:

• Soccer cleats (not football or baseball) or sneakers.  Soccer cleats are preferred but not required.  Cleats with a toe cleat, similar to baseball or football cleats, are NOT permitted.
• Shin guards
• Soccer socks - Long socks that can be worn over shin guards.
• Ball
• Size 3 - For the levels Little Dribbers through U8
• Size 4 - For U9-U12
• Apparel - Comfortable athletic shorts and a breathable top
• Water bottle
• Jersey (for game day)
• Optional Equipment: Depending on personal preference, players may also wear goalkeeper gloves, headbands, or sports glasses for added protection or functionality.
