Welcome New Board Members
GSA is pleased to welcome three new members to our Board of Directors: Michael Renekes President, Stacey Reynolds Secretary, and Jennifer Shelamer Treasure. All three have deep appreciatation to promote the advancement of competitive youth soccer in the greater Gainesville area for all in our organization. Our new members and the board want to make sure they operate with consistency and transparency so all will feel like they have had an opportunity to be an active participant.

Soccer will be the basis for teaching honor, integrity, cooperation, commitment and good will through victory and defeat. Finally it is GSA's hope that each player develops a passion for the game that provides him or her with a lifetime of playing, watching and loving soccer.

Alright fine you say. So how do we measure success? How do parents know if the team coach is doing a good job of teaching soccer to the players? How does the novice coach know if the kids are growing within the game? Well let’s use the facts, from a study by the Youth Sports Institute, of what players want from their sports experience as a way to measure success..

“Winning isn’t everything, but trying to is!” – Rainer Martens, sports psychologist”

Dr. Tom Fleck – “We must work to create an environment to develop the American player’s growth and development! In the past we have tried to train the Dutch way, the Brazilian way, etc. We can and will together create the finest players in the world if we understand the growth, development and specific characteristics of our youth. Distributing the body of information from the “Y” License is the first step.”
