What about the spring?

Baseball, basketball, figure skating, rugby, volleyball, tennis, swimming ...

Seriously -- the best way to become a strong athlete is to play multiple sports. Want your kids to continue playing soccer (or basketball, or ...) into adulthood? As PT Barnum says, "always leave 'em wanting more." That, and athletes who play multiple sports have fewer injuries. Remember, baseball is the sport Jackie Robinson was worst at.

If you do want more soccer, you can now register for Grad Series and Winter Stars. 

Grad Series is a mini-season for girls and boys in 8U (and the oldest 7U players) to help transition to the 10U Division. You'll learn about positions, offside, and goalkeeping. Games are on bigger fields with bigger goals. The season runs from January to February for a total of 8 weeks. ayso13.org/grad-series

Winter Stars is an informal pick-up style soccer program on Sunday afternoons for ages 5-13, for 8-10 weeks. The program is great for players who enjoyed the fall season and want to keep playing soccer with their friends. The fields are designated "friendly" and "competitive" where players decide which field they'd like to play on. ayso13.org/winter-stars
