TOPSoccer (The Outreach Program for Soccer) is a community-based training and team placement program for young athletes with special needs. TOPSoccer provides meaningful learning, development, and physical participation opportunities to these young athletes through the game of soccer. The emphasis of this program is on development, training, and meaningful participation rather than on competition. Our goal is to enable the young athletes with disabilities to develop their physical fitness, technical skills, courage, and self-esteem, through the joy and excitement of playing soccer. A TOPSoccer player is defined as any youth player between the ages of 4 and 19 who has a disability that limits their ability to perform at the level of play in which they have chosen to participate.

Pine-Richland Soccer Club is proud to provide this opportunity to members of our community, at a minimal cost. TOPSoccer sessions will take place on Saturdays at Pine Park. For more information on TOPSoccer, check out their website : https://www.usyouthsoccer.org/topsoccer/

PRSC is excited to continue our Little Rams introductory soccer program, led by professionals from QuickSkills Soccer. In these 45-minute sessions, Coach Jerry and his team will provide an emphasis on coordination/movement skills for athletic development, social/listening skills, along with building self-confidence all conducted in a positive, encouraging and “fun-first” environment.

 

Sessions will take place on Saturday mornings at Pine Park focused on developing your Little Rams fundamental soccer skills while incorporating YOU into all of the fun, too! We are working hard to avoid any overlapping schedules.

The Pine Richland Soccer Club program aims to provide children of all skill levels with the opportunity to learn the game of soccer in a positive, fun, and friendly environment. The In-House programs are where we introduce the U5/U6 age groups to the game of soccer, providing the right foundation for player growth and development; ball control, dribbling, and passing. As players progress into the U8 age group, the focus continues to provide the right foundation of player growth and development while introducing more team concepts, in addition to the Goalkeeper position.  U5/U6 takes place on Saturday mornings at Pine Park. U8 will have team practice during the week and play games Saturday morning at Pine Park.

This is the first opportunity for the players to compete against teams outside of our club, mostly within a 30-minute drive.

 For the U10 age group, there are two routes of play:

 

Throughout PA West, there are six (6) divisions of play in the travel division. 

Divisions 1, 2, and 3 are considered Classic and commonly referred to as “Cup” teams. 

Please note that game schedules can be delayed as we are coordinating with many other local clubs and PA West to start the season.

A full uniform is required. 

 

If you're interested in joining a more competitive travel team, PRSC holds D4 tryouts for the following Fall/Spring seasons. All kids in the PRSC program who are interested in playing in a more competitive environment are encouraged to try out. Players who have made travel teams in the past are still required to try out for the following season as teams are formed based on the tryout results.
