UNIFORM & EQUIPMENT
Each soccer player receives a matching Practice Shirt in addition to their normal Game Jersey. Players are expected to wear their Practice Shirt to all practices.. Black Shorts and Black Socks are required for games, but you may use uniform items from prior seasons. Players must wear shin guards and soccer cleats while participating. They can be purchased at your local sporting goods store. Each child should also bring their own soccer ball and water to practices and games.

 




 

AGE GROUPS
All leagues are Gender Specific. Our leagues range from Pre-School through 12th Grade. Most leagues are by single Grade, however we sometimes create two grade leagues if necessary.

TEAM FORMATION & SPECIAL REQUESTS
Teams are formed by School and Grade. Players are placed on teams along with their school classmates. This facilitates carpooling and enables kids to easily get together and play on their own. If you have a special request such as a particular coach, playing with a friend, or any other reason, simply enter it on the registration form and we will do our best to accommodate your request.

All schools in the Central Bucks and New Hope-Solebury School Districts are represented in our Soccer Leagues. Many of the parochial schools are represented as well, especially Our Lady of Mount Carmel.

GAMES
Games are on Saturdays between 8:00 AM and 3:00 PM. 5th Grade and older Teams may have a game or two on Sundays. Your Home games are usually at our location closest to your school or area. Away games can be at any of our other locations, but we do our best to keep your away games at fields close to your home field.

PRACTICES
Teams have a weekly one-hour practice on either Tuesdays or Thursdays. Practices are at 6:00 PM, but shift to 5:30 PM in October due to loss of daylight. Players are expected to wear their Practice Shirt to all practices. Your practices are usually at our location closest to your school or area. The Pre-School age group is a Class and does not have weekday practices. Their Saturday Class is instead a practice and brief game.

COACHING
Please consider volunteering. Coaches conduct the team practice each week and coach their team on game day. Each team has a Head Coach and may have up to two Assistant Coaches. Head Coaches and Assistant Coaches receive a PENN Coaches Shirt and a PENN Sweatshirt. Head Coaches also receive a $50 reimbursement once all required clearances are completed and confirmed. If you would like to be considered for a coaching position with your child’s team, please click the appropriate box on the Registration Form.

TEAM EQUIPMENT BAG
Each team is issued a Team Equipment Bag tailored to their specific sport and age group at the beginning of the season during Uniform & Equipment Pick Up. [Read More]

REGISTRATION FEE
Registration is $179 per player. A Game Jersey and Practice Shirt are included. Shorts, socks and soccer balls are additional and available for purchase.

CROSS SPORT SCHEDULING
Another distinction for PENN Athletics Club. Children are able to participate in both Intramural Soccer and NFL FLAG Football. We ensure the schedules will not conflict. Great for kids who like to play multiple sports.
