Good afternoon G-A Families, We are exploring the possibility of having a Middle Soccer Soccer team. This would be a partnership with Parchment Middle School. It would be a “club” team meaning it will not be funded by the school and not directly associated with G-A. However it’s a step toward establishing a soccer program. We are looking to have 15-18 6th-8th girls/boys to play on a Co-ed team. We would play in the the Southwest Michigan Middle School League. If this is something that interests your son/daughter please contact me by Friday. Time is of the essence. You can message me or email me at jeffrey.merasco@garams.org.
