The Petoskey Youth Soccer Association’s (PYSA) U10 player developmental program is under the guidance of Grant Reed, our u10 Player Developmental Coordinator. The goal of the U10 Developmental program is to provide boys and girls with a fun soccer environment in which they can develop their skills. The boys and girls sessions are held separately in the Fall and Spring Seasons. When you register for the Academy you are enrolling in a comprehensive soccer experience. The $250 registration fee covers both the fall and winter/spring season and includes the following:
Fall Season • Adidas Uniform (to be turned in after Spring season) and a custom PYSA Academy ball (to be given after Spring season with return of jersey)
• Two practices a week. Nights and times are TBD
• Weekend friendlies; Saturday (girls) or Sunday (boys)
• The U10 player developmental program will participate in the Petoskey Tournaments*
Winter Season • Optional indoor skill sessions @ NCMC (Feb.-Mar.) Nights TBD
Spring Season • Two practices a week. Nights and times are TBD
• Weekend friendlies; Saturday (girls) or Sunday (boys)
• The U10 player developmental program will participate in the Petoskey Tournaments*
Cost: $250 Registration
Deadline: July 1st ($25 late fee applies after this date)
Eligibility: Boys and girls u9/10. If spots still remain after July 1st deadline the program will open up to Early Start Players (1 birth year younger than the U10 player developmental program). Inquire with
[email protected] and
[email protected]. No 6-year-old players are permitted at this time.
Expectations: • With the exception of a few local friendlies in nearby communities, the entire program will take place in Petoskey at the Click Road Soccer Complex.
• U10 player developmental coordinator is responsible for training sessions and will be available at tournaments, but the program requires parent volunteer coaches for weekend friendlies and coaching development
• Team managers are required for each team and responsible to distribute communication to teams relayed from Director.
• Each player must have a family representative for volunteering at season and tournament work bees and a 2-4 hour tournament shift.
• Petoskey Tournament Dates are the first weekend of June and the weekend after Labor Day in September
Registration: Open to the first 24 boys and the first 24 girls that sign-up. State rosters allow for a maximum of 12. If there are players beyond that we will maintain a waiting list and aim for a third team or allow proactive players.
