Lightning

reveals new program for younger players

The Lightning Soccer

Club is unveiling a new program for Under 9 and 10 boys

and girls for the 2000-2001 season. The Elite Development

Program is designed to be neither all competitive nor all

recreational and is open to all U-9 and U-10 players.

In the

fall, there will be two evenly split teams, one or two

development teams and a U-9 team. All teams will train

together and each team will have a coach assigned to it.

The teams will play 20-25 games per season and will

attend two tournaments in the Atlanta area.

After the

fall season, players will receive an evaluation and will

be assigned to teams for the spring season; the U-9 team

will stay together. The newly arranged teams will compete

in the GYSA Under 10 Premier or Athena Leagues for the

spring. The program is open to all U-9 and U-10 players

and evaluations will be done for team placement only. No

one will be cut from the program.

There will

be an informal meeting for interested players and parents

on May 21 at 5 p.m. at McCurry Park in Fayetteville. For
