Q13. I would like my child to play with a friend. Can we request to have them on the same team?

Q14. How can I get involved?
A. Our intramural program is successful thanks to all the volunteers. We are always looking for volunteer coaches. You can sign up to volunteer the same way you would register your child as a participant, or you can email the PYSA Intramural Coordinator at [email protected] for more information.
Q15. When are team practices?
A. Practices are determined by the volunteer coach. Our program includes 15 minutes scheduled for training before each game for age groups 4 – 8 years old.
Q16. Where are the games played?
A. Games are played on the Pennridge North Middle School fields, located at 1500 North 5th St., Perkasie, PA 18944.
Q17. When are games played?
A. Games are played on Monday - Wednesday evenings (with Thursday as the rain makeup). You may play one, two, or three times on any given week, depending how the schedule works out.
Q18. What happens if a game is cancelled due to inclement weather?
A. Games will be made up as soon as possible as the schedule allows. For games played during the week, we will try to reschedule the games later the same week if possible. If the second half of a game has started and weather stops the game, that game will not be rescheduled. For weekend games, we will either reschedule during the following week or add it to the end of the season on a weekend.
Q19. How is notification of game cancellations done?
A. We will post the information on the PYSA Facebook page: (https://www.facebook.com/groups/PennridgeYellowjackets/) and on the PYSA website, as well as send out a blast email. Facebook will provide the quickest updates.
Q20. The games were cancelled but the weather is clear?
A. Weather is not the only factor in determining game cancellations. Many times fields are saturated after heavy rains that make the field unplayable.

Q31. I Have not received any email, What's going on?
A. There could be several reason why you are not receiving emails. Depending on the SPAM filters on your email, it might be going there since our email module uses bulk email. Also, if you unsubscribed on a previous email, that prevents out system from sending email out to you at your request. If you would like to continue to receive emails, please inform us that you would like to receive emails.
