J.L. Long 6th grade Spring Soccer is in it’s 25th consecutive season and registration time is here! League play is through the YMCA. The team is co-ed and open to anyone attending JL Long or any nearby school. Players can be of any skill level including beginners. Registration is now through February 10th. The Spring teams first practice will be on February 9th and scheduled games will begin March 4th.
The team will consist of 14+ players and will be co-ed. Everyone will have a chance to play! The team practices are at Randall Park (Willis Winters Park) across from Woodrow Wilson High School from 4:30 PM to 6:00 PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Games are mostly played on Saturdays. Under UIL Rules, sixth grade students cannot participate in school team sports, so this is a fantastic opportunity for children to stay active.
This Spring, we are inviting 5th graders from our feeder pattern schools to play as well. If we get enough players, we may have 2 teams this Spring!
Cost is $85 for Y members and $135 for non-Y members through the White Rock YMCA or you can also register with the Richardson YMCA where cost is $80 for Y members and $100 for non- members through February 10th (as of this printing on YMCA website). The White Rock YMCA is offering uniforms with their registration, the Richardson YMCA is not. Scholarships are available.
To register, you can go in person to the White Rock YMCA at 7301 Gaston Ave Dallas, TX 75214 and register under JL Long Buccaneers OR you may register online at either the White Rock or Richardson YMCA.
