Pick up soccer update

From Lisa: "We're decided to move back to WalMart fields Monday/Thursday. The kids' leagues are finished. And people are encouraged to come as early as 5:00."

Hope to see all there!

Pick up soccer now at 5:30

Just an update...Pickup soccer is still going on at the fields next to the Athens library every Monday and Thursday evening.

We have moved the start time back to 5:30PM to try and get more time as the days get shorter. All the same, whenever you can get there is fine.

Anyone looking to get in a good run is welcome. We have been having 20-30 players showing up each night. Players are middle schoolers, high schoolers, adults, and even a few of us in the "over 40" demographic. Experience levels range from newbies on up. So, whoever you are, you are welcome.

Once again, let me give a reminder to not park at the library lot, but take the dirt road at the end of Morris Avenue to the small parking area near the fields.

GASA Night at the Crew - Ticket deadline October 10!

Greetings Athens Soccer Lovers!

Join a group of Athens soccer lovers for GASA Night at the Crew on Sunday, October 26th at 5 p.m. Tickets to the Crew's match against D.C. United are $14 (regularly a $20 value), and $2 from each ticket sold goes to the Greater Athens Soccer Association (GASA). To purchase tickets, please contact Avin Assomull at (614) 447-4106. The deadline to order tickets as part of this package is Friday, October 10th at 5 p.m.

This is the final game of what has been one of the Crew's best seasons ever. They are currently in 1st place in the MLS.

Let's celebrate the end (or near end) of our local youth, scholastic and adult soccer seasons by having a large Athens contingent at the Crew's final home game this season. This past June we had 54 Athenians attend a GASA night. Let's see if we can double that!

Cheers!

James Petrik
