The programs, age by age
These come from the club's site, grouped the way the club groups them. Your kid starts in the one that fits their age.
Recreational Soccer
~4-18 years old
The Pittsburgh Dynamo Recreation League provides an environment where kids can learn soccer, have fun playing, and develop as players. No official scores or standings are kept because the emphasis is on developing soccer skills rather than winning.
Travel Soccer
U9; U15 through U19
Travel Soccer is for players who desire—and are ready for—a more competitive level than the Recreational League. Teams practice twice a week and play Sunday games against teams from other clubs in PA West's East District.
PA West
Indoor League
U5/U6, U7/U8, U9/U10, U11/U12/U13
