PYAA Soccer is always looking to grow our travel program. Although our Fall 2019 travel tryouts are not until May, its never too early to start to consider your daughter or son for our program. Tryouts for each travel team will be held in early May. Every exiting travel player must tryout out for their existing team each year. We are also looking to form new travel team for club. Travel soccer begins at age 7. The girls play all their games on Saturday afternoon and the boys play all their games on Sunday afternoon. Both the boys and the girls play clubs throughout South Jersey. In addition to players, we are always looking for coaches, assistant coach, managers and volunteers for our travel program. If you have any questions about participating in our travel soccer program, please do not hesitate contact us via Facebook or via email at This email address is being protected from spambots.

TREX, a company that makes recycled plastic wood substitutes, offers the opportunity to win a FREE recycled park bench to communities that participate in a recycling program. I'm reaching out to gauge public interest and see if any businesses in our town would be interested in hosting a drop-off bin. To win a bench, we would need to collect 500 pounds of plastic refuse in a six-month span (about 40,500 plastic bags), which sounds crazy, but that's only about 11 bags per resident (based on ~3,700 population). Please reach out to me This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or by message if you have interest as I am happy to head up this effort.
