Everybody has their first experience with a youth soccer club and we want yours to be positive. We have compiled the most important information for parents who are looking at putting a child into PFC programming and posted it here.

What to do first ...

The first step for new-to-PFC parents is to identify which age group your child is in.  Age groups are determined by which year your child was born.  The ‘U’ stands for ‘under’, therefore a U13 is a player younger than 13. As determined by Ontario Soccer, every January 1st, players are officially moved ‘up’ a year in age group as they are one year older for the following season. For example, if your child was born in 2011, for the 2023 season, they would be playing in U12 (under 12).

Next ...

Once you know your age group, you can identify and learn more about programming available for your age. Different programs have varying program details, and PFC is proud to offer programing for both an indoor and an outdoor season. Indoor typically runs from October through April and outdoor runs from late-May to September.

A Proof of Age (POA) document is required to complete a player’s registration with the District Association and Ontario Soccer (OS), and to obtain an Ontario Soccer Player Registration Number. The OS number is valid for the player’s entire soccer career. 

A POA document can be either an original photo or a scan of a birth certificate or the photo page of a passport.  Only club staff who have undergone a Criminal Record Check and understand the sensitivity of these documents are permitted to handle POAs.  Documents emailed to the club administrators will be shredded after the age verification process has been completed.

Once you have identified a program, you can begin the registration process. You will be prompted to create a Sportsengine member account.  Sportsengine is the service we use to register players for all PFC programs.

The contact info you input into your account is how PFC contacts you. Please keep it current and up to date. There is also an opportunity to upload an image of your child; this is extremely helpful for club staff.

You will receive a confirmation email from Sportsengine notifying you that your registration was successful. From there, you will need to reference our website for program details and information.  You can also download the Sportsengine App from our website.  This app is the primary communication tool used by the club and the teams for quick and effective information regarding team reminders, schedules, and attendance!  PLEASE NOTE: You will NOT receive an email about program details, as all the information is on the website - check often.

During the Sportsengine registration process, you will select a program and register. Programs will be offered based on the date of birth and the eligibility to the program by age and gender. 

Payment is done through Sportsengine, and you will receive a confirmation email. As a security precaution, you will also receive an email during the registration/payment process asking you to verify that the account belongs to you.

Schedule information will be available to you on the PFC website.  All that is left is to attend the date, time and location of your program!

PFC is committed to creating a playing environment that is accessible to everyone.

We believe that every child should have the right to play.  Any member seeking financial assistance should contact the Club Administration to discuss in confidence payment options.

Financial assistance generally involves funding via a third-party provider but the club recently started the PFC Community Fund to allow us to directly help families experiencing temporary or short-term financial issues.

Families seeking financial assistance are encouraged to register early to ensure their application can be duly processed and their child can be placed on a team in a timely manner.

Options for registration funding via a third-party provider are:

• KidSport: For more information, click here.
• Canadian Tire Jumpstart: For more information, click here.
• Their Opportunity: For more information, click here.

PFC does not need to be involved in any of these application processes, however we are able to initiate and process Jumpstart applications on our members’ behalf provided they are a Pickering resident.
