Welcome to Pleasure Island Soccer (PISA)

COVID-19 UPDATE: May 30, 2020

Dear PISA Families,
 
We are back!
 
We JUST received word yesterday that US Club Soccer is lifting the sanctions on our member organization’s activities effective May 18. (SEE NEWS)
After After following US Club sanctioning as well as CDC/NC, and NHC guidelines, we are ready to move into the next phase of PISA Soccer. FINALLY! 😊. We are all upset about Spring season schedule having to be postponed, but that is all that has happened, and we are ready to move forward as best and safely as we can. We will not let this interfere with our mission of providing a fun and rewarding soccer experience.
We are doing this by introducing SUMMER SMALL SIDED GAMES. This way no one has to wait until “Fall” to scratch that itch and get back out onto the fields! We have just reserved fields for summer months of June and July and will begin summer training and kick-around sessions beginning in June. Exact schedule for each age group will be announced on May 31.
 
Sessions will be divided by gender and age and be led by our professional coaching staff! (see PISA Hurricanes Coaches Page). Recreation coaches are encouraged to participate in helping lead the sessions, learn some new techniques and training drills for you to use with your teams once the 8-week session. ALL players in each age group are encouraged (not required) to come out for the open training, both Recreation and Hurricanes! New to PISA? No problem, we will be posting a separate Summer Session Registration for you to participate as well.
 
But…this is absolutely FREE to all PISA players who were registered and paid up for the Spring 2020 season! Your registration will not only cover these 8 week sessions, but also your full Recreation fee when we roll right-into the Fall season by starting EARLY! Instead of starting in September, first games will be tentatively scheduled for August 15! This way, no sitting around during the summer months and no need to wait any longer to make-up for the Spring season. 
 
We know of no other clubs offering refunds for Spring, and unfortunately neither can we at this point since so many pre-season expenses have already been incurred in anticipation of the season starting, including all team jerseys, player insurance, new goals, field paint and lining, even port-a-johns, etc. Don’t worry, your fees are being honored 100%, not only for the summer sessions but for this upcoming season starting in August as well!  We were right there…teams were made, schedules were set, and we were ready to start games that Saturday. Only expenses not incurred are the continuing field maintenance, referee fees, and awards. This is the reason we are honoring all players, keeping teams as they are, and will be distributing the jerseys to coaches at the end of the Summer Small Sided Season.
 
We are SO excited to get back out onto the fields with this new structure and season never offered before. Keep a watch for upcoming PISA Summer Small Sided Sessions to be posted 6pm May 31.

COVID-19 UPDATE: May 1, 2020

PISA Recreation Families,
We hope this email finds everyone healthy and well. We are all hoping to return to the fields as quickly as safely possible. However at this time, US Club Soccer has mandated a stay until at least May 18 as the date a decision will be made to authorize us to consider returning to play.
Although May 18th is the next date for any activity to be considered, it is still too premature to set a specific date for when we might be permitted to return to the fields safely and whether that will be in a reduced or full capacity. Therefore, our plans to provide a quality soccer experience for our families must be flexible and easily adjusted to take into consideration the changing social distancing requirements and the health recommendations recommended by authorities.
So we are all disappointed in this situation and are anxious to get back on the fields, even if in a reduced capacity. When we do return, families with a paid Spring 2020 Recreation Registration will receive a credit toward Fall 2020 season. As soon as we are ready to announce more specific dates, we will send each registrant a link to sign up for the Fall 2020 season. More details of the credit and registration will be announced after May 18, assuming that North Carolina follows the re-opening guidelines proposed by the governor, as well as New Hanover County and field access.
Thank you for your continued support and patience during this shutdown and difficult time. We hope your family stays safe and remains active and enjoying the extra family time spent together!
