The In-House Recreational program includes 9 weeknight practices at Hotchkiss Field in the town of Prospect and 8 Saturday morning games. The program starts at U4 with Mini-Hawks. Games are played on Saturday mornings against teams within each team's own division. Scores and standings are not kept and every player is guaranteed to play at least 50% of each game (except in the event of injury or discipline).
The registration fee includes a shirt, an end of the season party, and a weekly curriculum for parent coaches to follow. Coaches are always in need. There is no soccer experience necessary, just a willingness to work with children and to learn.

PSC Dynamo Premier Information
The Dynamo Premier Program is for the player who simply can't get enough soccer. While our in-house rec and travel programs run for 8-10 weeks during both the Spring and Fall season - the premier program runs year-round and includes Summer training, a summer camp, fall and spring practices (2x/week) and games, 18 weeks of Winter indoor training and indoor games and a Memorial Day tournament. Many of the Dynamo teams also attend tournaments throughout the season including college showcase tournaments (for the older age groups) to assist in opening doors and providing college coach visibility for those who aspire to compete in college.
The premier program starts at U9/10 with teams broken out by age and gender, and continues up through U19 - with tryouts required for all age groups. The program is friendly with other sports (eg players can still do other sports as schedules permit) and is also Travel friendly (meaning players can do both Travel and Premier.
The annual PSC premier season runs from 7/1 through 6/31 but teams are always open to supplemental tryouts.
