Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania

About

South Wilkes-Barre Skyhawks Soccer, often branded WBS Skyhawks, is a youth soccer organization rooted in the Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, area. The club keeps everyday soccer logistics straightforward for families: seasonal registration (including spring sign-up), team schedules, photo galleries, and driving directions plus field maps so parents can reach training and match sites without guesswork. Programming follows USA small-sided soccer guidance, with rule breakdowns organized by age group so field dimensions, roster sizes, and match formats stay appropriate as players grow.

Player and family resources

Beyond registration and season calendars, coaching support includes searchable training videos—examples include foundational shooting drills, defending work, and a passing-and-movement block aimed at roughly U10 players—so volunteer coaches and parents can mirror consistent technical ideas at practice. Families can also browse team and event photography. When teams use alternate complexes, step-by-step directions supplement the field maps so everyone arrives at the right pitch.

Community connection

The club blends soccer with neighborhood life over the course of the year. Outdoor family movie nights take place on the Gordon Avenue field, with gates and concessions opening in the evening for a relaxed Friday atmosphere under the stars. Community yard sales and seasonal gatherings such as the South Wilkes-Barre Residents Association Easter egg hunt sit beside soccer programming, signaling an organization that treats families as neighbors as much as roster members.

Who to contact

Mike Slusser serves as club director and can be reached at 570-991-0472. General questions and registration follow-up also go to info@wbskyhawks.org. Because seasonal windows and field assignments change, families should confirm current registration deadlines, when season schedules are ready, and event dates directly with the club as each season approaches.
