Practices

When and where to hold practice is totally up to you, the coach. Most teams practice twice a week on Monday/Thursday or Tuesday/Thursday, but again, that will be up to you. Most teams practice at the practice soccer fields at the Atlanta High School but you are not required to do so.

​

Coach Clinic

PYSA is in the process of organizing a coach clinic for our coaches to receive training and information about drills and general soccer knowledge to help them be better coaches. Please check back for more details.

​

Uniforms

Uniforms will be ordered once all players have been registered. Uniforms usually arrive a few days before the first game and we hope to have them in by 9/14 and will be at the AHS practice fields on 9/14 and 9/16 to pass out uniforms to coaches who will then distribute them to their teams.

​

Equipment

All players will need soccer cleats*, shin-guards, socks, water bottle/jug

​

*The cleats must be soccer cleats; baseball cleats, metal cleats, or cleats with a cleat on the toe
