Bigs in the YELLS Mentoring Program want you to join them for their second annual Community Soccer Skills Day! This group of youth – who call themselves “YELLS with the Cleats” – knows how much our Franklin Gateway community loves soccer and knew the beautiful game was the perfect way to bring neighbors together. They’ll offer soccer skills practice from dribbling to shooting to tricks, so don’t miss the fun on Saturday, March 24 at 10:00 am at the Franklin Gateway Sports Complex. We also still need equipment (especially soccer balls) and volunteers for March 24 and May 5.
At last year’s event, youth and adults alike developed their soccer skills while building relationships with their neighbors. The AJC even reported from the event! We’re excited to hold this year’s event on fields at the Franklin Gateway Sports Complex.
The event on March 24 provides the opportunity for neighbors to form teams and sign up for our Franklin Gateway Soccer Tournament on May 5, where apartment complexes will face-off to see who will win the Golden Cup! With youth and adult teams, the competition is fierce, but there’s a team for everyone! In addition to our co-ed teams, we also had an all-girls match. Everyone’s signing up for the tournament, so make sure you come out on March 24 and get your team registered!
