Formal OPDL Trials have now concluded. Thank you to everyone who attended and engaged with the PFC OPDL program. For those still looking to trial with PFC, please contact the appropriate OPDL Team Head Coach using the Coaching Staff link.

Pickering FC (PFC) is excited to announce our 2026 League 1 ON Open Trials, taking place at the Pickering Soccer Centre in December.  
 
COST - The cost to participate in the trials is a $50.00 non-refundable flat rate.  Players can attend all the trials for this cost, but coaches can release a player after a minimum of 3 sessions.  There is no pro-rated cost for trials, if a player can only attend 1-2 trials.  It is best to submit your payment online while registering, but payment can also be paid in-person prior to taking to the pitch.
