Coaches Needed

The PBGYAA Predators Soccer program is run by all volunteers, including the coaches.  We are always in need of parents who are willing to coach.  It is a very rewarding experience for the parent and your child.  Please register as a volunteer to coach when you register your child to play for the season.

Sponsors Needed

Help us continue to keep the cost of entry into sports as low as possible.  We have several sponsorship opportunities available, including team sponsorship for $350.  The generosity of our sponsors allows us to maintain our low cost, provide financial assistance to kids who otherwise would not have the opportunity to participate and supports our many other programs, including TOPSoccer.  Please visit our website PBG Predators for all sponsorship opportunities.
