U13 & U14

U13 & U14 Team Tryout

Teams formed during the July tryout period are formed for the FALL AND SUMMER seasons.

The July tryout is the ONLY tryout for the year. There is not a separate tryout in January for the summer season like at U11 & U12.

Players wishing to participate in just one season (fall or summer) MUST try out at the July tryouts.

Efforts will be made to accommodate players who wish to play in only one season. You will be able to indicate this on the registration.

Fall Season (Aug-Oct)

Training begins the 3rd week of August with 2-3 training sessions per week.

Games are played on the weekends beginning at the end of August and running through the middle of October.

Teams can elect to participate in a local or out-of-town tournament

The number of players signed up for a particular age group determines the number of teams we field.

"Trapped" 8th graders are players who are in 8th grade but their birth year would have them be U15. These players are eligible to play U14 in the fall season and PVUFC will try to accommodate if roster space is available.

Fall - NPL & Regional Levels

For NPL and Regional level teams - to be considered for the team, players have to play BOTH the fall and summer seasons.

These level teams move to more of a year-round format to stay competitive with other clubs at these levels who are true year-round teams. Winter training will still remain optional but is highly encouraged. This is not to say that you cannot do other sports during these seasons but it is expected that you participate in each of the fall and summer seasons.

What about High School Soccer?

Players can play for their high school's 9th-grade team and PVU during the fall season.

Players will not be able to participate in your high school's B-Squad, JV, or Varsity teams in the fall as state high school league rules prohibit you from playing club and high school during the same season.

Players at this level must play for PVU in the fall in order to be considered for the team.

Fall - State & Cities Levels

Players have the option to select the following seasons to play in: Summer & Fall, Summer Only, Fall Only.

At the July tryout, we will be selecting the teams for the summer season based on ability. Players who select Summer & Fall and Summer Only will be evaluated and considered for the team.

Players who select Fall only will be evaluated and placed if there is space available.
