Play soccer in fall league

The American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO) Very Important Player (VIP) program provides a soccer experience for children whose physical or mental disabilities prevent them from successful participation on mainstream teams. The VIP program allows everyone a chance to play. Registration for the Fall 2008 League will be mid-May through mid-June.

The team will be participating through AYSO in Twinsburg and the games will be played on fields there. Practices and games will be held back-back, with each player having a "buddy" to encourage and assist them on the field. It is for kids in the 5-through-12 age range that have either physical or mental disabilities that would benefit from this type of activity.

The registration fee is $25 and includes uniform (shirt, shorts and socks), fall season games and an awards ceremony. Registration forms will be available online at www.twinsburgsoccer.com.
