What is PWSC Academy Soccer?

PWSC Academy Soccer is for U8 through U10 players (2017 – 2014 birth years) who are looking for a more competitive soccer experience compared to a traditional recreational soccer league.

PWSC Academy Soccer players will be placed on gender-specific teams at their age level with other competitive soccer players. There are no formal “tryouts” for academy soccer teams, but participation on an academy team could be limited if a particular age group were to have too many players for one team but not enough players to create a second team at that age group.

What will practices and games look like in Academy?

During the fall and spring seasons, academy soccer teams will train two times per week for 1.5 hours each session. They will compete in the WYSA Academy Soccer League with games against other Academy soccer teams in southeastern Wisconsin. Players will participate in a minimum of one competitive soccer tournament in the fall and one in the spring. Players will also be training once per week during the winter months (January – March), and academy soccer teams will have the opportunity to play indoor soccer games in a formal league during the winter.

What is included with my Academy registration fee?

Your Academy registration fee includes a full player kit -- 2 jerseys (home and away), shorts, and socks. Your Academy registration fee will also assist in covering the cost for licensed soccer coaches, referee fees, and field fees. Tournament fees and indoor soccer league fees are not included in the base registration fee as those costs are specific to each team depending on how many tournaments and indoor leagues each team participates in.

PWSC Academy is an accredited WYSA Youth Academy.  

The purposes of the WYSA Youth Academies are:

• Provide soccer players, who aspire of becoming a more accomplished player, an avenue to test and enhance their skills.
• Provide soccer players an opportunity to train with experienced coaches.
• Provide soccer players an opportunity to investigate the level of play with which they are comfortable, how they fit in with other teams, and for which coaches they would like to play.

The PWSC Academy Program will be divided by gender, age and ability.  Ages are based on birth year and not school grade.  The ratio of coach to players is estimated to be at 10:1 to allow all players to receive one-on-one attention.  This individual level of coaching will raise their level of play and increase their overall knowledge of the game.   See the age table below:

 All sessions and home games will be held at the PWSC Kohler Credit Union Fields in Port Washington and session days are tentatively expected to be on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5pm to 6:30pm. All Academy teams will practice together to create a consistent and transparent soccer program that will allow the player to thrive in the individual and team atmosphere. 

Financial assistance is available through the PWSC Scholarship Fund for families with demonstrated financial need.
