LEGACY PARK YOUTH SOCCER Spring 2008
Registeration must be made IN PERSON at the Team Assignment Meeting
Legacy Park Youth Activities offers a recreational soccer league for Legacy Parks children, ages 3 through 13. Younger children start out in the small sided program that is designed to enhance each individual child's skill level by maximizing the amount of time they touch the ball and to provide a non-competitive environment where learning and fun are emphasized. Older children are taught skills and rules of the game. Legacy Park abides by the "Laws of the Game" as published by FIFA with some modifications made for youth players.
Divisions
The divisions for our program are in alignment with the other large recreational programs in Georgia. We will offer U5, U6, U8, U10, and U14 (see descriptions below). The number of teams will depend on the number of registered children and the divisions may be combined.

The coordinators, coaches and assistant coaches are ALL volunteers. We appreciate their time and commitment. Most of the parents are not professional soccer players, but just being a leader to the children is important. If you know what a soccer ball looks like, you are qualified to coach or assist. Please volunteer.
