About GSA
We are a volunteer based non-profit that services Gladstone, Milwaukie, Oregon City, Clackamas and other surrounding cities.
We offer open registrations to children Kindergarten aged to 8th grade.
Our Kinder/Micro program is co-ed-based teams teaching the fundamentals of soccer while focusing on the fun of the sport.
Our 3rd grade through 8th grade program is gender specific teams; building on their early training and teaching in depth understanding of the game as well as personal growth.
Kinder/Micro Program
All coaches are volunteers and are given the liberty to make their own practice schedule. Games are all played at Meldrum Bar Park (practices are generally there but can be moved at the coach’s discretion). Kinder games are 3v3 or 4v4 depending on the number of players we have that season. Micro games are 4v4 or 5v5 again depending on the number of players that season. This level focuses on the basic building blocks of the sport. We focus on fun while teaching moves like dribbling, aiming, pull backs, crossovers, etc. We teach communication as an essential skill to the success of the team.
3rd through 8th grade Program
All coaches are volunteers and are given the liberty to make their own practice schedule. This level of play is gender specific teams (unless we are unable to form a full team, then we create a co-ed team that plays in the boys’ bracket). As our youth progress through the program, their training and games become a little more competitive, they focus more on learning specific positions on the field, we add goalkeepers, and we fine tune the fundamentals. We again focus on communication as a team to aim for success.
