What POBSC stands for:
The intramural soccer program here in Plainview Old Bethpage is designed to provide an opportunity for every child, no matter of ability to be offered participation in organized recreational, structured soccer experience.
Starting with our Pre-k (4 year old ) Pee-Wee Division through U19 Travel soccer teams, our mission statement is as folows;
We believe in training and developing our players so that they enjoy the game of soccer while building team spirit and individual skills. Our boys and girls have done well in all age groups and have earned the respect of other clubs for both their fine play and sportsmanship.
We have adopted the following philosophy:
"Our goal is to offer fun, challenging and effective coaching while being a positive role model for all players we work with. We value the relationships we create and we believe these relationships are the foundation for success both on and off the field."
