  • PFC premier

    Premier Football Club (PFC) is the premier branch of SYSA (Shaker Heights, Ohio). PFC attracts players from many different communities such as Shaker, Cleveland Heights, Orange, Twinsburg, Pepper Pike, Hunting Valley, etc. In the Fall and Spring, the PFC soccer teams play in the OYSAN State league (click here for more information). Both Fall and Spring each have 8 games (usually 4 home and 4 away games, usually played on Saturdays) as well as one 90 min team practice. The PFC games and 1 practice are meant to complement the players travel experience and the players are therefore required to continue playing for their respective travel club, whether it is SYSA or other club (in addition to travel players from Shaker, PFC is also proud to have players from Cleveland Heights, Orange, Twinsburg, etc.). There are additional footskills and goalie training opportunities for players interested in further developing their soccer skills. Fall/Spring costs are one fee of $350 which covers both the Fall and Spring seasons (scholarships and partial scholarships are available). PFC is a partially volunteer run organization so parents are asked to volunteer or pay a $50 fee in lieu of volunteering.

    The indoor winter season is comprised of two indoor sessions each 8 games and are played at local indoor facilities. Each team will also have one 60 minute indoor team practice and there are also additional sessions available involving striker/finishing, footskills, and goalie training (check home page). The first session is usually from November till mid-January and the second session from mid-January till March. The cost for each indoor session is $190 per season.

    PFC has premier teams for players from 8-14 years old in most age groups ranging from U9-U14 (i.e. 'under 9' till 'under 14'). The age boundary is Aug 1 for each particular age group. If you are not sure, please use this online Soccer Age group calculator to figure out the Uxx age group your child belongs to this season. Occasionally, a player is put on a one-year older team (i.e. playing up), depending on talent and numbers of available other players. Team information about coaches and managers can be found here. Info on the PFC coaches can be found on the coaching link on the left.

    PFC try-outs take place in June for the following Fall season but occasionally, team openings are available mid-year so feel free to contact the Director of Coaching for inquiries via the 'Contacts' link on the left. See also the above 'Try-outs' link.
