Registration for the Riverhead Police Athletic League’s PAL/SUSA co‑ed fall soccer program is now open, with the sign‑up window running from June 24 through July 23. The opportunity allows children entering kindergarten through sixth grade to join a community‑focused season of sport on Long Island.
Program Schedule and Age Groups
The season kicks off on September 13 and concludes on November 1, featuring seven Sunday matches at Stotzky Park. No games are scheduled for the weekends of October 11 and 12, giving families a brief respite before the final stretch. Four weekday training sessions are held at Riley Avenue School, each conducted by certified coaches who emphasize skill development and sportsmanship.
Games are organized by grade level: kindergarten and first‑grade teams meet from 9 a.m. to 9:50 a.m., second and third graders from 10 a.m. to 10:50 a.m., and fourth through sixth graders from 11 a.m. to 11:50 a.m. each Sunday. This staggered timing ensures age‑appropriate competition and allows families to plan around other weekend activities.
Fees are set at $88 per player for families residing within the Riverhead School District and $98 for non‑residents. The cost covers all scheduled games, the training sessions, and access to the league’s instructional resources, making participation affordable for a broad cross‑section of the community.
