Happy May to our CiTY family, as we keep up the momentum of a busy CiTY spring! All travel teams have been enjoying league games and tournaments like State and President's Cups, and team bonding on and off the field.
CiTY Spring 2022 REC has seen unprecedented growth as we reach the midpoint of the season (over 300 players!), and registration is now open for CiTY Fall 2022 REC. There are also some upcoming opportunities for U8 boys and girls to come out and kick around with U8 Academy and Technical Director Carmen Juliano and CiTY coaches.
CiTY Special Needs Program is having an awesome spring season, and there is still time to get involved! Players can still register, and youth and adult volunteers are still needed for the remaining two Fridays.

Spread the word - the schedule for CiTY travel team tryouts is out and registration is open! Returning and new players all need to register. Keep reading for more CiTY news and information about the weeks ahead.
