We offer instructional, in-house recreational, and travel team soccer programs for children ages 5 - 19. Our players come from the Northside and North Hills neighborhoods of Pittsburgh, although anyone can play, regardless of where they live.

In-House Playoffs End in Championship Games
November 5, 2011
The in house playoffs had some exciting actions, including a 1-0 nail biter for the B League Championship.
The 2011 A-League champion team was A2 (Gold) Breadworks team, in a 4-0 victory over A1 (Red) Kasunick Welding in a battle between two experienced coaches. Red was missing key players due to injury, but played tough defense and had excellent goal tending to keep it close throughout the first half. But the lack of subs began to tell in the late stages of the game as Gold went on to the Championship win. A2 Gold Breadworks went undefeated for the season, a difficult feat.
Fans were treated to another great game in the warm-up consolation game, as A4 (Green) Goodrich and Goodrich and A3 (Blue) Muddy Cup went at it exchanging goal for goal and shot for shot. It was exciting to the finish with about 2 minutes left, A4 Green scored the winning goal.
In the B League championship, fans were treated to another hard fought and exciting game and B3 (Maroon) Eugene Beck Heating went on to beat the undefeated B2 (White) Graziani Photography team by a score of 1-0. It looked like white would tie the game at several points, but great goal tending and nice defensive plays sealed the shut out.
Congratulation's on a great season to all of the players, coaches and parents and fans. One final note - don't forget -- winter soccer is just around the corner. It's free and usually held at Perry High School on Saturday mornings. more details will follow in a few weeks.
