The Pine-Richland Soccer Club (PRSC) is a non-profit, volunteer run youth soccer organization and is open to all children residing within Pine and Richland Townships.
Our purpose is to provide recreational and competitive soccer leagues for 450-550 boys and girls each season in soccer leagues ranging from Under 5 through Under 19.
The PRSC is supported entirely by volunteers. It is governed by a 9-member Board of Directors and is supported by 11 volunteer staff members in addition to the many volunteer coaches, assistant coaches and team parents. We could not offer our community’s children the opportunity to play soccer without our parents’ willingness to get involved.
For those parents willing to volunteer for one of the below listed Board or Staff positions for two consecutive seasons, we will offer a 50% discount for the second season’s registration fees (up to a maximum of $100 off). Please consider lending a hand to the Club by indicating which positions you are willing to consider as part of your registration or by contacting members of the Current Board.
