2024 PARPC Girls Recreational Soccer Program

This is a recreational soccer program for school aged girls from Kindergarten to Eighth Grade who reside in the Palmyra, Pennsylvania area and surrounding communities. This is a program geared toward learning and fun, with equal time on the field during games for every player.

Do you have a busy schedule? No worries! Just make a note of the days you are unavailable Monday through Friday (games are mostly Saturday morning & early afternoon) and we’ll do our best to accommodate or give you your registration fee back!

GIRLS SOCCER FIRST THROUGH EIGHTH GRADE

Times-Practices will start the week of March 18th (weather permitting) and wrap up mid to late May. Days and times vary each season dependent upon schedule availability noted on registration forms. We balance ability, age, and schedule availability to make the program as balanced as possible for the best experience for our girls.

Be sure to note on your registration the days of the week your athlete is NOT available. Practices will be 2x per week the first 2 weeks of preseason then move to practices 1x per week with a Saturday game for the remainder of the season with a possibility of 1-2 games during the week due to Holidays and possible weather postponements.
