The website for the league is www.granitestatesoccer.com. Here you will find schedules, directions, standings, etc. Games will begin the weekend of April 14th. Game schedules are not yet posted. More information on games will be sent once available by your team managers. All home games will be played at Cemetery Fields in Amherst. Games may be played on Saturday, Sunday or both days on any given weekend.
EDP - Scheduled to start on 4/16 at Upper Wilkins field. U10 teams will begin practicing earlier than the rest of EDP due to league games starting 4/14 - schedule to come. Saturday Jamborees will be held at 1:00 at Cemetery Fields. More information will be sent on the schedule for U10/EDP.
Goal Keeper Training-The club will be offering Goal Keeper Training on Thursdays at Cemetery Fields. U15-19 will take place from 5-6 PM and U10-U14 from 6-7 PM starting April 19th. If interested, please email Lisa Davidson at treasurer@comcast.net so we can get a handle on how many kids will be there. Gk's with practice time conflicts should attend keeper training and then go to their regular practice.
Tournament - Just a reminder that the club is hosting our 20th Annual Memorial Day Tournament May 26th-28th. We will be hosting over 250 teams over the memorial weekend. This annual soccer tournament is our club's only fundraiser and a lot of fun and games for our kids. We earn a significant amount of our funds from this weekends event which helps to keep our fees down. All parents are assigned approximately 6-8 hours per player this weekend at a specific duty such as field marshaling, concessions, parking, field cleanup, field prep, etc. Team Duties will be assigned in April so please keep the weekend free for your child's games and your work assignment. If you would like to complete your hours prior to that weekend or will be away, contact Lisa at tournament@amherstsoccerclub.com.
