Travel Soccer Interest Meeting

Parents and Players,

First, I want to be clear that this meeting is not meant to recruit any players who have already committed to another travel club and is only meant for those players who are interested in playing soccer this spring and have not committed to another club.

Pendleton FC is holding an interest meeting this weekend for all parents with children ages U8 and older who are interested in Travel Soccer for their child. Information about Travel Soccer and the meeting is below. We are hoping to expand our travel program from 4 teams to at least 8 teams in the Spring and we need families who are interested in more competitive soccer to participate. In addition to our travel teams we have an academy program for the U8 and U9 aged players that is meant to be competitive and advanced development for players. If you are not sure about your interest and just want to see what it is about, please plan to attend.

Thanks,
Jeff Spires
Director of Coaching, PendletonFC


Who: Ages U8 and older

When: Sunday, October 25 at 6pm

About Travel Soccer: The Pendleton FC Travel Soccer Program was designed to provide an opportunity for athletes from the U8 to U18 age groups to play in a more competitive environment and to further enhance their skill development. The Pendleton FC Travel teams currently participate in the Greater Indianapolis Regional League of Soccer (Girls) and the Central Indiana Youth Soccer League (Boys). The Travel teams play an 8 game schedule per season, with both a Fall and Spring season each calendar year. Travel teams also have the opportunity to participate in tournaments throughout the year. Pendleton FC Travel Soccer is open to all children aged U8 to U18 provided there are enough players in their specific age group to form a team.

Mail-In Registrations

To all players and their families,

Due to technical difficulties we were unable to open our online registration as early as we would have liked so the board has voted to rescind our earlier decision and accept registrations by mail. We hope every player will now have a chance to register and play during this 2009 fall season.

The registration deadline remains at July 31st - all mailed-in registrations must be postmarked by July 31st or they will not be accepted.

Spring Indoor Soccer

Pendleton FC/PYSA has had a few inquiries about late registration for the Spring 2009 outdoor soccer season. Unfortunately, registration for the Spring season has closed and rosters have already been assigned. It would be impossible for Pendleton FC/PYSA to accept late registrations at this time. However, an alternative does exist for those of you who missed registration for the Spring season.

Just 4 Kicks Indoor Sports, located at 6511 South SR 67 in Pendleton, is currently trying to form teams for an indoor soccer league that will play this Spring. For more information, you can click here to visit the Just 4 Kicks web site, or you can give them a call at (765) 778-4046.
