Greetings!   
 

"Community Recreation" registrations for children 3-12 are still being accepted with late fees and credit cards.  Register today.  Note PSC Rec Academy outdoor training begins this week.  These professionally run sessions for PSC Rec u5-u12 players provide a terrific opportunity for your child to advance his/her skill level.  Vince Ganzberg and Dan Kapsalis are the two best youth soccer trainers in Indiana.  Details below.

 

Pike Fest 2011, PSC's annual August tournament, hosted 3000 travel players from 5 states and parents and fans.  It was a huge success thanks to the 100's of PSC member parents and players who volunteered.  Pike Fest 2011 proceeds go to the PSC Tuition Assistance Fund to help children from families in need play PSC.

Volunteers are needed to run the "Rec" program, especially during games.  If you speak both English and Spanish, we need you to help welcome our Spanish language only families during games.  Look for email invite and sign up on line for a fun hour of service to the community before your child's game.
