PPO IS HAPPY TO ANNOUNCE WE WILL BE CONDUCTING IN-PERSON TRYOUTS STARTING JUNE 22nd!

Full program information is on this page if you scroll down. If you still have any questions, feel free to contact us at pposoccer@yahoo.com

If you would like to TRYOUT for a Heat Strikers team, click the TRYOUT link on this page and register.  ALL PLAYERS MUST REGISTER TO TRYOUT BEFORE ARRIVING TO THE FIELD.

Things to note when you come to tryout:

• Children are not allowed to come if showing ANY symptoms of illness. Please do not come if the participant or anyone in the immediate household is sick. You will be sent home immediately. Parents also need to check temperatures before coming. 
• Children must exit their vehicles just before the time they are to enter the field. Masks must be worn by players until the coaches have instructed to remove them.
• Arrive wearing shin guards, socks covering the shin guards, and cleats. They also must come with a ball, water bottle, and hand sanitizer. All items brought must have name written on them. Players will NOT be allowed to borrow equipment.
• Parents MUST remain in their cars in the parking lot for the duration of the session. Parents are not permitted to leave while their kids are on the field.

Dates to tryout for our teams are posted below.

ONLY children who are registered online will be able to participate.  There will be NO on-field registrations.  This is due to COVID-19 social distancing policies.

Tryouts will be happening on the southern end of the Pines Recreation center. You can reach it by going down the road that runs in between the park and the airport. Continue on until you see a second parking lot and a fenced-in field on your left. The field is in the same area as where you can see the Broward College airplane/hangar.

7400 Pines Blvd. Pembroke Pines, FL 33024

On mobile phones, be sure to swipe left and right on the schedules to view all days available. Each age group has four tryout sessions. It is recommended your child come to as many as possible, in order to increase their chances of being selected.

This link is just to register to TRYOUT.  Once selected, you can register onto the team using the link at the bottom of the page.

The registration fee (paid once per season/year)
to join a  Heat Strikers team is:

Base registration fee:  $305

Uniform kit:  $120

Out of City Fee (Charged to players who live outside of Pembroke Pines):  $95*

All players are required to own a full set of Heat Strikers uniforms, plus practice shirts.  Returning players may choose to reuse uniform kits from the prior season. Uniforms must be in good condition, as determined by PPO. Uniforms kit (home and away jerseys, shorts, socks, and 2 practice shirts) may be purchased from PPO for $120, subject to availability**.

The registration fee includes all basic costs associated with participation in one regular season of South Florida United (the travel league),  FYSA carding and insurance.
 

The fee does not include tournaments, travel expenses, specialized equipment, or outside training.  

The Heat Strikers uniforms are custom printed (sublimated), and really stand out compared to other local teams.   Each kit contains a home and away jersey, shorts, socks, and 2 practice shirts.

*Non Pembroke Pines Residents will be charged an out of city fee of $95, which is imposed by the City. Pembroke Pines residents must provide proof of residency at time of registration.  Out of City residents (only) will be given a book of raffles tickets to sell, and allowed to keep the proceeds (which can help offset the out of city fee).

**Late registrations may require uniforms be purchased online directly from our uniform vender (Squadra).  Orders placed with Squadra will cost approximately $160 plus shipping.

Many PPO coaches offer PPO soccer players additional training sessions, and competition  opportunities outside of our park. These training sessions are held at a local indoor soccer facility, as well as other venues.   Understand these sessions are fully OPTIONAL, and you need not attend them. Your coach has volunteered to coach your team at least 2x per week, as well as be at league games as required. You are not required to pay any training fees to be on a PPO team. Any fees coaches charge for off site activities is not part of the PPO program. If you choose not to participate in these activities you are not required to pay for them, and your child’s participation in soccer league play will not be effected in any way.

Most teams will attend tournaments through the coming year.  The costs of tournaments vary by age group, and some teams will chose to do more or less than others.  The cost of tournaments is shared evenly by members on the team.  More information on approximate tournament costs will be provided during the tryout / selection process.  Teams will also coordinate fund raising activities to help offset some of these expenses.
