What Prince George Youth Soccer Assn does

Prince George Youth Soccer Association (PGYSA), operating under the PGYSA Impact brand, is a non-profit youth soccer organization founded in 1965 and headquartered in Prince George, British Columbia, Canada. The organization is licensed under BC Soccer's youth club licensing framework and operates in alignment with Canada Soccer's Long-Term Player Development (LTPD) model. PGYSA serves approximately 1,500 active youth players from U3 to U18 age groups across four seasonal programming windows per year, offering tiered pathways including Grassroots (U3-U13), Active 4 Life (U14-U18), and Competitive Development Teams (U9-U18) that travel across British Columbia for tournament play. The association also hosts the annual Northern Fall Classic tournament and supports referee development, coaching certification pathways, and volunteer programs.

The organization's technology stack is non-proprietary, relying on third-party platforms including PowerUp Sports for online registration and membership management (hosted at pgysa.powerupsports.com) and Weblium for website hosting. PGYSA generates revenue through three primary streams: seasonal registration fees ranging from $95 to $295 per player per season, tournament and event sponsorship fees, and corporate sponsorships with brand exposure across team jerseys, field signage, and digital channels. The organization is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors and supported by Province of British Columbia funding, KidSport grants, and JumpStart by Canadian Tire for financial accessibility. Operations are lean with a 5-employee staff supplemented by Technical Director Neil Sedgwick (NCCP 'A' License), Assistant Technical Director Joanne Bray (NCCP 'B' License), and extensive volunteer coach and referee networks. The leadership team includes President Ryan Beer, Vice President Kollin Spencer, Treasurer Stacey Linton, Secretary Rob Glavine, Operations Manager Sabina Power, and Office Manager Charles Olatoye Aboyeji.
