Fall 2010 registration for Greenwood County Parks & Recreation soccer program will be coordinated by the Greenwood YMCA.
For players and coaches, the only thing that will change will be the registration process. The LYS league, game schedules, rules, and cost will all remain the same.
To register, you will need to go to the Greenwood YMCA in person during regular business hours. If you have participated in any YMCA program in the past 5 years (swimming lessons, membership, summer camp, etc) you can register online here: http://www.greenwoodymca.org/sports/
In addition, the Greenwood YMCA will be holding registration night at the Greenwood Mall on Monday July 26th, from 4:00pm to 7:00pm.
If you have specific questions about the YMCA registration process, you can contact Clint at crichey@greenwoodymca.org or Sondi at screglow@greenwoodymca.org. The phone number for the YMCA is 864-223-9622.
**Registration dates**
July 1 - August 1
About Lakelands Youth Soccer
The Lakelands Toros Soccer Club is a member of the Lakelands Youth Soccer (LYS). LYS is a newly formed partnership involving Lakelands Toros Soccer, Greenwood County Parks & Recreation, Abbeville City Parks & Recreation, Greenwood Family YMCA as well as Ware Shoals, Due West, McCormick and Ninety-Six soccer programs. All of these organizations are coming together to standardize coaches training, field sizes, team sizes, officiating and scheduling to improve the quality of the soccer experience for children in the Lakelands area. Each partner brings skills and assets to the program that can insure the overall program provides the best possible experience for the children who enroll. This partnership is designed to create a combined and stronger recreational program.
Greenwood Parks and Recreation’s soccer program will be overseen by the Lakelands Toros Soccer Club. We will be forming teams for players ages 6 and-up. The registration fee will be $50 per child which covers a soccer game jersey, referee fees and coach’s training. We are planning for 1-2 practice sessions and 1 - 2 games per week. Teams will be formed in Greenwood, Ware Shoals and Ninety-Six. All of the practices and most of the games will take place at your “home” field on weekday evenings with limited Saturdays.
