VIP PROGRAM (Very Important Players) AYSO Region 212 American Youth Soccer Organization Serving Climax-Scotts, Comstock, Delton, Galesburg-Augusta, and Gull Lake
Region 212 is hoping to start a VIP Program For those interested, pre-register online at www.eayso.org then come to our registration Saturday, May 10, 2008 8:00am-1:00pm Galesburg Augusta Primary School 315 W. Battle Creek St., Galesburg (see reverse side for more registration info)
The VIP program provides a quality soccer experience for children ages 4-18 whose physical or mental disabilities make it difficult to fully participate on other soccer teams. VIP teams may include those who are challenged visually, physically, mentally or emotionally.
Emphasis is on exercise, social skills and FUN as well as learning the game of soccer Commitment is for one hour a week during the soccer season (usually seven weeks in the fall and seven weeks in the spring). The first half hour is stretching and practice; the second half hour is the game followed by snacks. The VIP team divides into two teams and plays with/against each other. Team members change from week to week. Games are held at River Oaks in Galesburg. Since many of our kids have physical disabilities, we are a "fair weather" team. If it's raining, we don't play. Games are played on smaller field sizes Fee-$65/player, $170 family maximum (can be refunded up until the first game; scholarships available upon request) We try to recruit "buddies" (other students) who help the kids during the soccer game. Our VIP team members love learning from and playing with their buddies. If there are not enough buddies, parents usually pitch in and help.
COME JOIN IN ON THE FUN!! For more info contact Charmaine at 731-3629
