The Kids on the Pitch Podcast, returns for a special opening weekend of the High School soccer season edition, as PSN’s John Krysinsky is joined by Pine-Richland Boys Head Coach Jordan Wiegand.

This year, at the JRK Memorial Classic hosted by Pine-Richland boys soccer program, 10 high school boys soccer teams will get their 2024 seasons going against some tough competition.  John and Jordan discuss the return of the Classic and many topics including Pine-Richland’s squad, the importance of playing tough competition right at the start of the season, WPIAL Class 4A’s outlook, PIAA/WPIAL changes in rules and lack of changes (overtime will remain in the regular season), and much, much more.
