Big Thanks to You All!

Charlevoix Youth Soccer would like to thank Amy Dixon, Dan Reed, and Sean Simney for their contribution through CYSA Board of Directors and the program as a whole. We appreciate all of your hard work & dedication to our local youth during your time on the Board!

We would also like to thank Gordon Selph for his time on the CYSA Board, though he still remains a big part of our program helping coach and as a resource to us all.

>> This said, we are always looking for new Board Members! There is no need to know the game of soccer, but just a passion for helping support our local youth. Send us a message if you have questions about this opportunity!

Open positions include Vice President, Treasurer, and Co-Fundraising Coordinator. Or just come participate as a Member at Large and help CYSA by sharing your thoughts!

Recreation League Soccer Registration is now Open!

Sign-ups for Rec League Soccer is happening now, through July 24th, 2022. This year's Recreation League runs from late August through the end of September. Your child(rem) will be placed on community-sponsored teams and will have the opportunity to learn the game of soccer from parent volunteers. This year, we are trying something new! One evening per week, we will have the kids & volunteer coaches learn from, and practice with, those who know the ins and outs of the game. The other evening, we will use those learned skills to practice during games! We are hoping that this will foster a better understanding of the game fundamentals from the U6 teams, on up!

The teams are co-ed and take a recreational approach. Team ages run from U-6 to U-14, but we will always make a place for your child who wants to play! Since this is a recreational league, field sizes and number of participants will vary per year. All games are played at Shanahan Field on the north side of Charlevoix. Registration happens through GotSport here: https://system.gotsport.com/programs/Q80597061?reg_role=player. Cost is $45 per player. The last day to register is July 24th, 2022. Late registration fees apply after that date. The season is schedule to begin on August 30th with finals being September 29th. Most coaches choose to do 1-2 practices the week before games start (last week of August).

Your help is needed! >> If you are a parent who loves the game of soccer, or just loves seeing your child enjoy the sport, please reach out about coaching! Again, more guidance will be offered this year, so now is the best time to jump in and give it a try! >> If you are interested in being a referee for either or rec league or travel games, please reach out! We can always use more referees!! We would be able to host more home games if we had more referees, so this is important to our program! >> If you, or a business you know, is interested in sponsoring during rec season, we have a few options! Please reach out to learn more. We will have some options this year!

We can't wait to see your child(ren) on the field!
