Our Petoskey Premier teams represent the "finished product" that PYSA works to create through the Academy and NMSA years. At the premier level, our teams seek out top-flight competition throughout the State of Michigan and occasionally outside of state borders. Our boys program is known as the Petoskey Lakers, while our girls are known as Petoskey Breakers. Typically, the Lakers participate in the Michigan State Premier Soccer Program (MSPSP) where they compete in league play against 9 other high-caliber teams from throughout the state. The Lakers also participate in the Petoskey Summer Invitational, and typically pursue additional out-of-area tournament opportunities. The Lakers also schedule midweek friendlies against area competition in an effort to maximize their playing opportunities. The Breakers usually participate in a series of high-quality tournaments throughout the state. Breakers teams often participate in as many as five fall tournaments, including the Petoskey Autumn Blast. Both programs involve significant commitments to travel and training time, with training typically three days a week and most opponents/tournaments located in the Metro Detroit area. The priority for our premier teams is on-field success, and each roster is created through an annual tryout process.
