The Potomac Soccer Association (PSA) of Montgomery County was founded in 1980 by Bill Wilson of Potomac, Maryland. Formally incorporated as a non-profit organization in 1982, the fundamental mission of PSA has remained the same as it is today: to promote soccer for area youth.
Over the past 18 years, PSA has matured from a homespun group of six teams to an all-volunteer, community-based organization sponsoring over 500 youth, ages 10 to 19 years, in the highest competitive level of travel-select soccer.
During the fall and spring seasons of each year, PSA fields some 20-25 teams in the National Capital Soccer League (NCSL) and the Washington Area Girls Soccer League (WAGS). A majority of PSA teams occupy Division I and II status ranking them in the top percentile of select teams in the Washington metropolitan area, Maryland and Virginia.
Through its affiliation with the Maryland State Youth Soccer Association (MSYSA), PSA teams have successfully represented Maryland in local and out-of-state tournaments, the Maryland State Cup, the Eastern Regionals (Area 1-B), and the United States Youth Soccer Association (USYSA) National Championships. In addition, many players have gone on to distinguish themselves at the collegiate level.
This proud record has been achieved through the efforts of a dedicated core of parents, officers and coaches of PSA, who provide programs of training and playing opportunity to develop the individual player to his or her maximum potential.
