Taking PRIDE in developing soccer players
At what age can players join?
Players can join at U7 (2015 birth year) and
play U8.
What is the difference between PRIDE
SC and recreation soccer?
PSC provides a more developmentally
focused program that will better help prepare
players for the next level than a recreation program.
This is accomplished by a professional,
licensed coaching staff in a competitive environment
with 3 times as many training opportunities.
Where are training/games?
PSC trains and hosts home games in Canal
Winchester, Groveport, Ashville and Grove
City. League games and tournaments are
mostly in Central Ohio but can be throughout
Ohio depending on the age and level of the
team.
