"The ball does not care how old you are!"
Because of community demand, the Grand Traverse Bay YMCA will continue to offer adult soccer leagues this summer. There will be separate divisions for both men and women. The cost of the program is $25 per player and you must be at least 18 years old to participate.
The women's league will be held on Wednesday evenings and the men's league will take place on Thursday evenings, beginning on June 9th and June 10th respectively. The program will run for 8 weeks, ending on August 4th & 5th. There will not be any games during the week of the National Cherry Festival. All games are played on the Grand Traverse Bay YMCA soccer fields, located at 3000 Racquet Club Drive. Game-times will be 7 p.m. for both divisions.
The league will be played using a "drop-in" format. Participants will divide themselves into teams on a weekly basis prior to game time. All games will be officiated.
The main goals of all YMCA programs are fun and fitness. YMCA Soccer Coordinator Bill Sparks says, "The Y adult soccer leagues are always a lot of fun for the players. The league is the ideal summer venue to get together with friends."
