NORTH ADAMS, Mass. -- Northern Berkshire YMCA has opened registrations for its YMCA/Hoosac Tunnel Soccer League for all boys and girls ages 4 years through eighth grade.

 

Session dates are Sept. 10 to Oct. 29, 2015. Register by Aug. 15.

 

The league has four divisions: Pre K/K (for children ages 4 years old by Sept. 1 through kindergarten); first and second grades; third- through fifth-grades; and sixth- through eighth-grades. All divisions will practice one night a week and play a game on Saturday mornings. All sessions will be held at Alcombright Field.

 

This eight-week program is designed to be instructional in nature. For the pre-k through fifth grade divisions, the score is not kept, encouraging a non-competitive environment for learning. Children will learn fundamental soccer skills, the rules of the games and sportsmanship values by knowledgeable volunteer coaches. Children will be given a T-shirt with their team name and number on it, as well as an end-of-the-year award. 

 

The cost of the league is $55 for Y members and $80 for non-members. An annual youth membership is $40/year. Financial assistance is available to those who qualify. Greylock Youth Club members may also use the Greylock Youth Club Coupon to participate for free. Greylock Youth Club Coupons can be picked up from any Greylock Federal Credit Union branch. Register for the program at the Y, 22 Brickyard Court in North Adams.
