American Youth Soccer Organization update

Globe-Miami — AYSO Region 543 is pleased to announce the 10th Annual AYSO Soccer Camp. The camp will be led by the United Kingdom International Soccer Camp’s professional coaches, who are trained and certified according to AYSO standards. It will be July 23-27 at the soccer fields by the Globe skate park.

For 7 – 16 year olds it will be from 5 to 8 p.m. and will cost $102. For 4 – 6 year olds it will be from 5 to 6:30 p.m. and will cost $70. For more information and to register, there is a link on the main page of www.ayso543.com or you can call 1-888-857-6222. We are also still in need of host families for the two coaches. Please e-mail Tory Satter at ayso543@hotmail.com if you are interested in hosting one of the coaches.

The American Youth Soccer Organization’s first and most important philosophy is “Everyone Plays.” This fall, our AYSO region will have a Very Important Player program. AYSO’s VIP program provides a quality soccer experience for children and adults whose physical or mental disabilities make it difficult to successfully participate on mainstream teams. The VIP program helps more than just the players. Buddies and other volunteers increase their appreciation and understanding of individuals with special needs. They find their lives greatly enriched by their involvement with their new VIP friends.

For parents thinking they would never see their children playing a sport or making new friends, the VIP program gives them joy and hope. Please email Kara Satter at karalea73@gmail.com or go to the VIP Program page at www.ayso543.com for more information.
