2026 PARPC Girls Spring 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 16th (weather permitting) and wrap up mid to late May. Days and times vary each season dependent upon schedule availability noted on registration forms.

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.

Trying out for PASD or a Travel team? We can accommodate most players! Anyone who tries out and doesn’t make it or decides to play with us, we can take them- IF they sign up in our “standby” list beforehand and their schedule works with the team available in their age group.
Here’s what you need to do to get on the standby list:
- Fill out the paper registration form below (not on active.com).
- Write on the top of the registration form “trying out”
- Send the registration form into our office at the address or drop box noted below by February 10th at the latest. Do NOT send payment with the registration form, we will just collect later if you decide to play (makes it easier for you and our accounting).
