Since there are not very many CYSA Division 1 tournaments remaining in the northern California area (specifically District VI) what tournaments are available to the PAFC?
By registering each PAFC team with US Club Soccer this will open up the opportunity for our teams to compete in local and travel Division 1 tournaments.

How many tournaments will be expected and how far will teams be expected to travel?
Much of the decision on how many tournaments to apply to and how far to travel will be determined on a team by team basis. However, the PAFC will be instituting measures to control the amount of play and amount of travel to a reasonable level based upon the level of the team.

Most of the Comp Clubs either prohibit or strongly recommend that their players not participate in High School Soccer or any other High School sport, will PAFC share the same policy?
PAFC believes strongly that all it's players should be able to have a full and complete childhood and this includes playing sports for their schools. Being able to be a soccer star in High School and benefit from all their training is a great side benefit of playing at PAFC. Additionally, this allows the young athletes to mature as leaders which should benfit them as they enter college and the workplace down the road. Creating strong and confident leadership skills combined with a belief in teamwork is what youth athletics is all about.
