JIYSC Micro Soccer Program
The JIYSC Micro Soccer Program welcomes young soccer players that want to have fun through soccer.
Players must be at least 4 years of age, and not more than 7 years of age as of August 1st, 2009. We are glad to be able to be the only soccer organization in the local area that offers a U5 (Under 5 years of age on 8/1/09) program.
The JIYSC Micro Soccer Program is all about fun and learning about the game.
