IMPORTANT GCYS SOCCER MESSAGE for Parents & Coaches!!!!

Hello GCYS Parents/Coaches!!

Currently, Galveston County Youth Soccer is in jeopardy of folding/dissolving due to lack of volunteers. As it stands today, GCYS soccer will no longer be available in our communities.

Please plan to attend this meeting if you are interested in seeing that Soccer is still provided to our youth in this area!!

Help Kids Defeat the HEAT!!
The "ABCs" are an easy way for kids and parents to remember how to Defeat the Heat:

• Always drink before, during and after activity to replace what you've lost through sweat
• Bring the right fluids. DURING physical activity, water is the best replacement fluid. Post-activity warrants electrolyte replacement which can be provided by sports drinks.
• Consider fluids as part of the essential safety equipment for sports

Texas City Field CLOSURE Information!!
The soccer fields at the Osburn Soccer Complex on 1700 29th St. N. in Texas City have been closed until further notice. All practices should be moved to the Bay Street Park soccer fields on 1400 Bay St in Texas City.

GCYS Volunteers Make It All Possible!!
GCYS is supported by a group of talented and dedicated volunteers. We'd like to take every chance we can to send a huge THANK YOU!! to the folks who make such a big difference for our kids. GCYS depends on the contributions of volunteers to ensure that programs run properly and efficiently. It literally takes an army of volunteers to organize a soccer season!
