For Rising U7's (Birth Year 2013) and U8's (Birth Year 2012):

Starting during the week of May 20, 2019, the PWSC will be holding open evaluations for all boys and girls born in 2012 and 2013 who are interested in participating on a select travel team.  This program is a parallel program to our highly successful Shep Messing Soccer Program.  It is designed for our most committed players in these age groups and requires an annual commitment for the Fall and Spring seasons.  Players are selected to participate on teams of between 10-15 players.  The program is intended for travel ready players who want to dedicate their focus to soccer and it requires a strong commitment to the sport.  Each age-group team will be supervised by a certified trainer who will oversee both individual and team development.  Practices will be held twice a week with a game on the weekend during the Fall and the Spring seasons.  Players will participate in a 6v6 (includes a goalie) travel league against other local Nassau soccer teams.

For Rising U9's (Birth Year 2011):

Players are selected to participate on teams of between 10-12 players and must commit to participate on an annual basis.  The program runs the entire 2019-2020 school year and consists of an assigned professional coach, late summer boot camp, a Fall and Spring league game season, two practices per week during league seasons, multiple tournaments, winter training, and optional winter leagues.  Costs have not been finalized, but annual commitment is typically between $1250-$1500 depending upon tournament participation and optional activities.  Each Spring new tryouts are conducted and players will have an opportunity to move between teams based upon their developmental progress. Players will be evaluated on a combination of skill, athleticism, and tactical awareness. 

Tryouts will be conducted by the JIGS Soccer Academy at Manorhaven SCHOOL.  All players who are interested in playing travel soccer next year must tryout to be considered for a team.

All players are required to bring a size 4 ball, cleats, and have shin guards under their socks.  Bring plenty of water as well.

Each new team will also need a volunteer parent manager and an assistant manager to help organize the team and communicate between coach, players, parents, other teams, referees, and the club.  During games they are also on the sideline assisting the Coach with team management.  As such, managers must go through a formal risk management process and will be trained on the role by other volunteers in the club.  If you have an interest please let us know.
