GYSA Updates – 7/11/17

GYSA State Champions!
Congratulations to Coach Perry’s U13 Boys and Coach Sherry’s U13 Girls – Champions Cup State Champions!!! Well played and well deserved all!!! Congrats also to Coach Walker’s U14 Girls and Coach Anderson’s U12 Boys, who had a great showing in today’s championship play! You all make us proud. Go Gorham!

Travel Soccer Commitment:

The season starts the 1st week of August with games starting the last weekend in August.  A typical week would include two practices during the week and games on Saturday, Sunday, or both days.  All players are expected to attend all practices and games.  The season ends in late October or early November.  The Gorham Travel Soccer program has helped to develop outstanding varsity and college soccer players.  However, travel soccer requires a fairly heavy time and physical commitment for the players and their parents.  We have exceptional municipal recreation programs and school programs for those who do not want the extra commitment.
