PVSC Player Development Academy
exclusively for U9 thru U12 players
PVSC is offering a new program for developing players U9-U12 looking to advance beyond our recreational program. The PVSC PLAYER DEVELOPMENT ACADEMY is a great fit for young players and their families who are showing a greater interest in a structured training atmosphere with the goal to prepare for advanced competitive soccer.
PVSC Player Development Academy teams are designed to bridge the gap between our competitive and recreational programs. League play will be in and around North Florida, so additional travel will be limited to tournaments. Coaches are volunteers hand-selected by the PVSC coaching/training staff and have advanced coaching training and skills. We use volunteer coaches so we can keep the cost of this program lower. PVSC staff and trainers will assist with the teams and offer advanced training for the coaches throughout the season.
PVSC Player Development Academy features a set schedule throughout the season. Player Development Academy players will have two training sessions a week and 8-10 games per season (plus tournaments). These games will mostly be held on Saturday mornings. Teams will be formed with the help of our professional staff and coaches. In addition to the regular season, teams will get the chance to participate in local competitive tournaments (at an additional fee).
Because PVSC is very careful in selecting our volunteer coaches, we will have limited space for the Player Development Academy. Some players will be identified by our coaching and training staff and invited to move up to this program. However, we want to encourage any parents who have players with an interest in taking their game to the next level to reach out to us to learn how to register. The deadline for the Fall 2023 registration requests was July 31st, 2023.
​
​
Once a player is interested in playing on the PVSC Player Development Academy, a link for registration will be sent to the parent to register. If you have already registered for the PVSC Recreational Program, that registration fee will be refunded once your PVSC Player Development Academy registration has been completed.

COST:
There is an added cost associated with joining the PVSC Player Development Academy. The added costs will cover additional field usage, referee fees, league cost, etc. As a non-profit organization, PVSC does its best to keep our fees as low as possible and is pleased to keep the cost of this program at a fraction of the cost of a traditional competitive program.
