Warsaw, IN (July 31, 2017) – Registration for youth outdoor soccer runs until August 11 for ages 3 to 6th grade at the Kosciusko Community YMCA. It’s easy to sign up and a membership to the Y is not required. The Y’s soccer program is a safe environment for children to learn practical and social skills and develop positive values.

The league offers four divisions, Division I for ages 3 to 4, Division II for those age 5 to 1st grade, Division III for those in 2nd and 3rd grade and Division IV for those in 4th-6th grade.

Practices and games will be held at Harrison School sports fields. In addition to being a good opportunity for kids, soccer will also give parents an opportunity to take an active role as a volunteer coach.
