 This league will improve the skill and confidence of each
player in the sport of soccer, while developing character through teamwork
and encouragement.
What is PSO?
Prestonwood Sports
Organization was established in1999 to provide an opportunity for
children to learn about soccer, sportsmanship and teamwork in a loving
and supportive atmosphere. PSO focuses on developing essential
fundamental skills while providing fun and competitive games. We require
that all players play half of every game.
Coaches
PSO leagues strive
to make every child a champion. Therefore, PSO coaches are trained to encourage,
motivate, and build each child’s self esteem as well as his or her
athletic ability.
All PSO coaches
are required to complete a thorough background check along with a coach
certification program and exam. If you are interested in coaching a
team, please contact
Cathy Kinder at
ckinder@prestonwood.org or at 972-820-5226.

Practice Schedules
Coaches, along
with input from the team, will determine the location and time of your
child’s practices. Coaches will not schedule more than two practices per
week.
League Schedules
This will be an eight game season beginning Saturday, February 6th. Regularly-scheduled season
games will be played on Saturdays. The post-season tournament for U7,
U8, U9, U10, U11 and U12 teams will be held following the last game of
the season.
Game Locations
All games are
played on manicured fields, sized for the individual leagues. The PSO
fields are located along Plano Parkway, west of Midway.
Partnership
PSO has formed a partnership with the local Major League Soccer team FC
Dallas. Registration includes a PSO/FC Dallas game day ticket for every
player (parents and siblings may purchase a ticket separately). An onsite FC Dallas players’ clinic will be provided for U7, U8,
U9, U10, U11 and U12 players during the Fall seasons.

information go to www.fcdallas.net
Team Formation
Teams are formed
based on age and ZIP code. PSO accepts full or partial teams. Players
will be placed on teams after the final registration deadline. A
player CANNOT be assigned to a team unless the online registration is
complete and payment has been received. There are three player
placement possibilities:
1. Team Player
– Players on a current team should notify their coach of intent to
return no later than December 20th. If you are a returning coach, please submit
a roster to your PSO division League Director to confirm returning or
new players on your team no later than January 4th. PSO reserves the right to place
players on any formed team.
2. Player Pool
– Players entering PSO who are not on an established team will be placed
on teams as close as possible to their ZIP code and/or school. Please
indicate any special notes in the “Preferred Coach” section of online
registration.
3. Draft Pool
— Players who register after the January 5th deadline will not be guaranteed
placement on a team. Consideration will be on a “first come, first
served” basis depending on the number of openings on current teams.
Otherwise, players might be placed on a newly-formed team based on the
availability of a coach.
Age
Brackets
Participants will
play in the corresponding age division. A copy of the player’s birth
certificate is required prior to playing in any PSO games, unless a copy
is on file from the previous year.
