PYSA's Breakers team for the Fall 2022 MSPSP League

Saturday, June 11, 2022

at Click Road Soccer Complex

08/07/06/05/04 Girls • 12:00–1:30p

GAME/TOURNAMENT PLAY

Our Breakers teams participate in the Michigan State Premier Soccer Program (MSPSP) each spring. League play typically consists of a 10-team division, meaning 4-5 away games and 4-5 home games. Schedules are not finalized until late July, so exact travel commitments will not be known until that time. Most of our fellow MSPSP participants are located in the SE part of the state (Metro Detroit), however, we have seen teams from Grand Rapids, Lansing, and Bay City/Midland area in recent years.

While it is not possible to fully forecast travel, it is reasonable to expect at least two weekends of travel. We will do our best to play multiple games in a single weekend, but this relies on our opponents being able to host us in that manner.

Beyond MSPSP, Breakers also participate in the Petoskey Autumn Blast September 9-11, 2022.

TRAINING

Breakers will practice two or three times per week in a 60-90 minute session. Exact nights & times will be determined after team formations.

PLAYING FOR THE PETOSKEY BREAKERS

It is important that all players trying out for the Breakers team(s) understand that this is a premier soccer program, meaning roster decisions, playing time, and coaching decisions will be merit-based. Equal playing time is not assured. While PYSA does understand there are meaningful costs and travel required for Breakers participation, this still does not guarantee a specific number of minutes for a player during games. The one thing each participant can count on is the opportunity to be fairly evaluated in a competitive environment throughout season. Players experience on the field will correspond with their commitment, performance, and effort.
