2010 GRIFONI AND PRE-SYL
PROGRAM REGISTRATION NOW OPEN
The Perugia Grifos are proud to announce the return of the highly successful U10/U11
Boys and Girls Grifoni Program, as well as the extremely popular Pre-SYL for 2010. Last year over 175
boys and girls competed for acceptance into the U10/U11 Grifoni program, which resulted in 30 of the
most talented 10 and 11 year old players coming together to train and compete in our area. At the Pre-
SYL (U12) age level, another 30 players trained and will help represent the first U13 SYL team coming
from the SYL developmental program in 2010. These highly successful programs have provided an
insight into the Perugia club, training methods and structure. We can't be more excited to once again
offer these two great programs for both boys and girls and look to see your son and daughter join us this
summer!
The primary focus of the Grifoni program is to offer technical training and a fundamental game
awareness to young players who begin to show a strong physical and psychological aptitude for the
game. Our administrative structure will oversee the operations of the team while our USL Super Y
technical staff will ensure appropriate and successful soccer teaching methods are being applied.

(Uniforms, registration, training, fields are all free)
U12 Pre-SYL Cost: $275.00 (Registration are included June-August 2 x a week)

Can I still play with my current club team: Yes we expect you too. The program is designed to
enhance opportunities for the player.
When do Grifo teams begin: Grifo teams begin officially at age U12, SYL teams begin at U13.
Is the program designed to recruit players: No, it is intended to introduce players to our
technical programs, and offers a glimpse of the Grifo system. We believe that families have the
right to explore all opportunities available, and what works best for them. There are many fine
programs, we look to enhance your child's soccer experience at what ever level you choose. At
no time is there pressure or will you be forced to make a decision.
How many players will be selected and where do you train: There will be 20 boys and 20 girls
selected for the Grifoni program, and up to 25 selected for each of the Pre-SYL training teams
(boys and girls). Training locations will be determined by the demographics of the team.
• When do the groups train: During the Spring the Grifoni's will train 1 time a week not to
interfere with your club team, after May we will move to 2 and possibly 3 times a week. The
Pre-SYL groups will train twice a week starting in June.
