PCYS Classic/Select Soccer Year (August 1 - July 31)

The PCYS Classic/Select soccer year spans from August 1, to July 31, and is divided into Fall and Spring seasons. Registration opens from late June to early August and covers both seasons.

Fall Season (Mid-August to Late October):

Team Formation:

Game Play and Weather Policy:

• Weather: Games proceed regardless of weather unless referees deem conditions unsafe.

The 2024-2025 Classic League Registration is open until November 14. 

We’re excited to announce that spring registration is now open for the upcoming Classic League season! Below, you’ll find important information to help guide you through the registration process.

Key Details:

• Returning Players: If your player registered in the fall, there is no need to re-register, even if they did not participate in fall games. 

• Limited Availability: Some age groups and teams are already full or nearing capacity. Registration and waiting lists operate on a first-come, first-serve basis, so we recommend registering as soon as possible to secure a spot. If your player’s age group is full at the time of registration, you’ll be placed on a waiting list and notified by email if space becomes available.

--> BEGIN REGISTRATION <--

Registration for the Fall 2024 soccer season is closed. This single registration will cover both the Fall and Spring seasons.

Please note there is no option to register for only the Fall season, so ensure you register within the specified timeframe to secure participation for the entire competitive soccer year.

Spring registration follows Fall's schedule, opening from late June to early August. If your player won't participate in the Fall season, you can defer their registration until early November, when a brief registration window will reopen. However, please note that team placements are prioritized based on registration dates.

If you plan to play only in the spring season, it's highly recommended that you register during the initial June-August period to secure your spot.

Families participating in the Competitive (Classic and Select) programs are expected to contribute 4 volunteer hours at each home tournament their player competes in during the spring and fall seasons. Additionally, families must complete 4 non-tournament volunteer hours, which can be selected from available opportunities listed on the PCYS website under DIBS. All volunteer hours are logged and managed through this system.

Failure to meet the volunteer hour requirements during the soccer season (August 1st through the following July) will result in a $200 fee for the subsequent season, and players will not receive their player card until all fees are settled. Coaches, team managers, board members, and committee members are exempt from the non-tournament requirement but are still expected to volunteer at each home tournament.
