Dear Neighbors,
I am thrilled that Bayside FC has chosen to use Conley Stadium for their first Providence-based Junior Soccer Academy.
At the beginning of the month, we made the announcement regarding this important partnership between the Providence Public School District, Bayside FC, and myself for our younger soccer players in the City.
If you are interested in the Bayside FC Junior Academy at Conley Stadium there is still time to register!
The Bayside FC Junior Academy offers boys and girls ages 4-10 the opportunity to build a solid foundation of technical skills and tactical understanding in a positive environment. The program's goal is to use the environment to educate players on the game's basics and grow their love of the sport. Players are guided to learn various new skills and fall in love with the ball by experienced and enthusiastic coaches.
The training camps at Conley Stadium will be held this spring on Saturdays beginning March 27, 2021, from 9:00 am – 10:00 am for six weeks. Please note the first Saturday in April will be skipped due to the Easter Holiday.
The summer training camps will be held on Saturdays beginning May 15, 2021, from 9:00 am – 10:00 am for six weeks. Please note that the first Saturday in July is skipped due to the Fourth of July holiday. The cost of each six-week training program is $99.00.

I am thrilled that I was able to help facilitate this wonderful partnership here in mighty Ward 5. Additionally, Bayside FC has also guaranteed that two scholarships will be offered to Providence young residents currently attending the Armand E. Batastini Jr. Recreation Center.
I can think of no better way to honor Armand Batastini Jr.'s legacy than ensuring that young people have access to great athletic programming.
We are also exploring opportunities to bring more programming to our Ward 5 Recreation Center in the coming months. There is a strong desire from Providence youth who attend the recreation center for more athletic programming, and soccer is at the top of their list.
I look forward to seeing our neighborhood kids on the pitch,
