according to facilities direc
tor Art Maddox, there’s
plenty of action remaining
throughout the summer.
For starters, the league
will host the Dixie Softball
state tournament July 8-

Also, he hopes the
Ochlahatchee park’s fields
remain in use another
way.

“We’re going to let the
church leagues use the
facilities,” said Maddox,
who added that used to be
the case each year up until
about three years ago.
“This is an open invita
tion to churches who don’t
have their own fields,” he
said.
For more information,
interested churches can
call Jake Stewart at 954-
0570.
On Aug. 13 and 20, PJL
will also begin registration
for its Fall Ball league.

Maddox said. Games will
begin Sept. 8 and continue
through Oct. 28.
According to the Perry
Junior League brochure,
“Fall Ball is an instruc
tional league that is meant
to prepare players for the
next league. It is a very
useful tool to prepare kids
for the next level of play.”

CGSA adds fields,
sets tryout dates
By JOE SERSEY
HHJ Sports Writer
The Central Georgia
Soccer Association has
been busy during its
three-week hiatus prepar
ing for next season.
“We finished Phase 3,”
said Bette Dillon, associa
tion administrator. “We
were able to add four to
eight new fields.”
The addition was pos
sible because of $91,000
in donations.
Central Georgia Soccer
Association also received
a $25,000 grant from
GEICO for its Top Soccer
Program.
That program affords
opportunities for mental
ly and physically handi
capped children to play
soccer.
“The grant is to build a
field,” Dillon said. “We’re
in the process of looking
into the best surface for
wheelchairs.”
The soccer complex also
benefited from a commu
nity service project.
Andrew Jones of Troop
127 built a kick wall for
his Eagle Scout project.
Dillon says that Central
Georgia is a non-profit
organization and relies on
donations. It also offers
space for banners as
another fundraiser.
The association’s cur
rent focus is building
pavilions for the Top
Soccer Program field and
next to the concession
stand.
According to Dillon, the
plan is to also add addi
tional lights and bleach
ers for other fields.
Officials at the complex
recently held academy
tryouts and are now gear
ing up for the select pro
gram tryouts that begin
next week.
Soccer players seeking
a spot on select teams in
the under-13 league will
be able to try out Monday,
for those under 14,
Tuesday for those under
15, June 16-17 for those
under 16 and June 18 for
those under 17.
Monday through Friday
tryout times are 6:30-8:30
p.m. Saturday tryouts
begin 10 a.m.

The cost is SIOO.
High School Camp

9 p.m. Monday through
Friday and 9 a.m. to noon,
Saturday.
Select Camp goes July

yet to be determined.
The first half of the
Striker/Keeper Camp
“is specific with keepers
working with goal keep
er trainers and all other
players working with the
other staff,” reads the
brochure.
During the second week,
the two groups rejoin for
crossing, shooting and
forward-play games and
drills.
The Academy Camp
allows returning acad
emy players to hone their
skills during the summer
and new academy players
to learn the CGSA acad
emy curriculum.
Recreation campers get
the chance to work on ball
mastery, skills and small
sided situations that will
help prepare them for the
fall season.
High School Camp “is
specifically designed to
prepare all high school
players for their season in
an environment of like
leveled players and peers.
Select Camp attendees
will work with profession
al trainers and coaches on
“topics most needed by
the team, so that the fall
season can be successful
as possible.”
Online registration for
recreation leagues opens
the end of June or begin
ning of July.
