Coaches Needed

Did you volunteer to coach a soccer team this fall? If so, you should have heard from the age group coordinator by now. If you haven't, please contact the appropriate coordinator as soon as possible.

U6 Needs Coaches - The U6 age group is very short of coaches this year. We need the parents of the U6 players to step up and volunteer. U6 coaching requires a minimal time commitment; one hour on Saturday mornings which consists of a 30 minute practice and a 30 minute game. There are no practices during the week for U6. In addition, all coaches will be provided with weekly practice plans from Mass Youth Soccer that can be used as a resource to make your coaching job easier. At your option, you can also attend a coaches course in nearby Rockland or Marshfield and PYS will reimburse the cost. We know... you don't know anything about soccer... the good new is, you do not need to have any experience in soccer at all to coach the young age groups.

Attention Spring Select Team Coach Candidates

During the spring season, PYS typically fields a select team in the Coastal Youth Soccer League (CYSL) Boys and Girls U12 and U14 divisions. This team usually competes in Division 1 against the top teams from other towns.

Coaches who are interested in becoming a Select Team coach need to submit a letter of intent and present it at the September PYS Board Meeting, Wednesday, September 10th, 7pm at the Pembroke Library. The letter of intent should detail the candidate's experience coaching or playing soccer, courses taken, what they can offer the players, and their team philosophy. The candidate presentations and selection process is usually the last order of business at the end of the board meeting.

For complete information on the coach selection process, please review the Coach and Player Selection Procedures.  You need Adobe Acrobat to view this document.


Fall 2008/Spring 2009 Registration
Register Online to Avoid Late Fee!

Pembroke Youth Soccer is still taking registrations on a space available basis only.

If you register a player via the paper form, a $10 late fee needs to be added. The late fee does not apply when registering a player for spring only play. If you are registering a player for the first time, you must register the player via the paper form via US Mail and must provide proof of age (e.g. birth certificate, passport). The late fee is waived for Online Registration but an extra service fee is applied by the registration service.


This year rates were increased $15 to cover the cost of paying for the paving project.

More information is available in the Registration Info section of the website.

Attitudes Are Contagious Video Now Online

The video "Attitudes Are Contagious", produced by Mass Youth Soccer, is now available on their website. This video focuses on the issue of sideline behavior of adults and has received national praise. Featuring actual game footage shot during league games and at tournaments, the video shows adults being themselves – their comments, actions and antics along the sidelines. You will hear referees talk about how the sideline behavior of adults affect them, and the impact the comments can have on matches. More importantly you will hear from the players themselves – what they think of the comments from the sidelines. This video has been shown many time on local cable television and is now available to you on your home computer. Click on one of the links below to view the video from the Mass Youth Soccer website.
