PSC Approved as Players First-Licensed Club
 

Parsippany SC was one of the nine clubs who have been approved as new Players First-licensed clubs, bringing the total to 90 clubs in 25 states (5 in NJ). These clubs completed a rigorous application process, proving their commitment to Players First, its philosophy and the five pillars.

When clubs apply to become Players First licensed, they’re extensively reviewed by US Club Soccer. Then, they’re either approved in the same term of which they applied, or their applications remain open for up to six months to allow them to meet any additional requirements necessary for licensing. To date, about one-third of all approved clubs have been accepted after their initial evaluations required them to raise standards. This process – and the results – overwhelmingly prove that Players First licensing is elevating standards in youth soccer.

Players First is a branded, holistic club soccer experience for parents and players, which emphasizes the development of each individual to his or her full potential, and helps parents make better choices about where their children should play. This is youth soccer’s “Good Housekeeping Seal” and these nine new clubs – and 90 total – stand out locally and nationally as improving the club soccer experience.

PSC DOC Stan Matlak said “ Players First is built on a foundation of five pillars: Club Development, Coaching Development, Player Development, Parent Engagement & Education and Player Health & Safety. This platform will help our club to continuously improving in all those aspects and as a result helps with player development of every PSC player”
