PIZMYSC (PIZM Youth Soccer Club) provides an opportunity for kids 8-18 years of age to play traveling summer soccer. This program is offered in addition to the local REC soccer program offered for grades PreK-6th as well as high school age kids. Traveling team practice begins in April with10-12 league games and 2-4 tournaments played during the season. League games are played in Pine Island and at local clubs in Southern MN. The tournaments are usually played in the Rochester and the Twin Cities area. Teams are created based upon birth year and multiple birth years may be combined and leveled depending upon the number of kids registered.
