Greencastle AYSO Opens Spring Soccer Registration

Greencastle AYSO Region #859 has officially opened registration for its upcoming Spring season, welcoming participants across various age groups. Prospective players can enroll in divisions for U6, U8, U10, U12, U14/U15, and U19. Early registration is advised to avoid a late fee.

The program, known for fostering a nurturing environment, emphasizes balanced teams, positive coaching, and sportsmanship, all crucial for player development. Moreover, the Greencastle Galaxy, the community’s beloved soccer initiative, makes soccer accessible and affordable, with a registration cost of $55 per player, plus a $25 national fee. Uniforms are included, ensuring no additional costs burden the families.

Greencastle AYSO is deeply rooted in community participation and owes much of its success to its dedicated volunteers. The organization is actively seeking individuals to fill various roles, including coaches, assistant coaches, referees, board members, and field preparation volunteers.

For those interested in contributing to the community or inquiring about the registration process, Greencastle AYSO encourages reaching out via their official communication channels to become a part of their vibrant volunteer team or to address any questions.
