PRYSA has programs for ages 5-18

PRYSA prides itself in trying to keep our registration costs the lowest in the Northern Interior Youth Soccer Association (NIYSA) family of clubs. Many times we have to increase our fees due to large increases in our payments to Northern Interior Youth Soccer Association (NIYSA), BC Soccer Association (BCSA) and Canadian Soccer Association (CSA).
Here are our current fees
If you need grant money to help cover the cost of soccer registration: You can apply for funding through KidSport Prince Rupert either online or by paper application available at the Jim Ciccone Civic Centre or the Port Interpretive Centre.

Soccer equipment is simple and relatively inexpensive. It includes…
Mandatory equipment: A pair of shin pads and a pair of soccer boots/cleats.
Uniform:
Club Supplied: Jersey
Player/Parent Supplied: shorts and socks
Yes & No, the club supplies all jerseys. For all levels the parents must buy the shorts and socks.
Typically no (unless they are twins!). Canadian Soccer Association (CSA) rules state that teams are formed by age specifications, i.e. all 11 year olds play together and all 12 year olds play together, etc.
Maybe. We try our best to balance the strength of the teams in each division. If your request doesn’t upset this balance, then we will try to honor it.
On your Registration Form, just place these special requests in the ”Special Requests / Comments” section.

Typically, a parent volunteers to coach their child’s team in league play. Talk to other coaches … they are normally your best source of information. You can also visit the Canada Soccer Grassroots coaching page for more information
All parents are encouraged to help out the club by either coaching, or assisting with the numerous other tasks that come with organizing a soccer season for our youth players. A few of the positions include:
- Join the Executive
Team coordinators to distribute information, and coordinate practice, snacks, and uniforms for each team.
Parents are always needed to help move goals, put up and take down goal nets
Volunteers to help set up and organize our annual fun tournament / jamboree.
Someone to help with fundraising / sponsorships.
