As you are all aware, over the years, Fairfax County Park Authority has been utilitizing the $10 Bond money to install turf fields in parks around

Fairfax County. The most recent installation began with a groundbreaking ceremony at the Braddock Park facility that some of you participated in on

March 1. This field, as are all other fields in the County inventory, is allocated to all County residents. However, the significant time allocated is to your SYA programs. Opening ceremonies for these events are a critical part of the process. A large showing of children wearing SYA attire is a confirmation of the appreciation for the field development in the Centreville/Clifton areas. It also will ensure that Pat Herrity, Springfield District Supervisor, Michael Frey, Sully District Supervisor and Hal Strickland, Chairman FCPA, see SYA's support of these programs.

This is important as we continue to push for additional fields at ECL and other properties in the Centreville/Clifton areas. So please take an hour out of your upcoming Saturday, June 21 to stop by  and be a part of YOUR new Turf field's Opening Ceremonies!  For more information, please visit the SYA website at www.syasports.org or the following link at http://www.syasports.org/Files/home/braddock%20rd%20turf%20rib%20cut%20invite.pdf

Thank you

Travel Soccer FAQ

SYA Soccer wants to thank all the players that came out to tryouts. All players that came out to tryouts should be called. The lead coach in each age group is responsible for organizing the communication of calling all the players. Please give the coaches one week after the last tryout day to contact all the players. After that you can contact the lead coach in each age group listed at the bottom of this article and whose contact information is in the travel section.  

We wish all players no matter what team they will be playing for this coming year;  a worthwhile experience, stimulating soccer education and the start of quality friendships and the strengthening of existing friendships.
