O CEAN D UNES B Y S TAN P USIESKI For Siuslaw News Soccer’s unsettled foothold in the local sports landscape is taking a new direction this fall. The newly formed Siuslaw Youth Soccer Association (SYSA) has begun registering area youth ages 5 to 18 for its inaugural fall season at Miller Park. The SYSA is taking control of the sport for the younger age groups from the Boys and Girls Club of Western Lane County, while opening it up for players at the high school level. Once again this fall, Siuslaw will be the only 4A school not offering the sport. “Our goal in the coming months and years (is) to have soccer available to players 5 to 18, to compete against other coastal clubs, and to bring tournaments to our won- derful coastal town,” the SYSA explains in its mission statement. The City of Florence has shown its sup- port by purchasing a set of soccer goals for Miller Park. In addition, the Boys and Girls Club donated two more sets of goals, along withother equipment to be used for prac- tices and tournaments. Practice begins in early September and first matches tentative- ly are scheduled for Sept. 17. SYSA officers include president Cameron Jagoe, vice president Erin Linton, treasurer Londi Tomaro, secretary Tim Tregoning and registrar Amy Tregoning. The SYSA is affiliated with the Oregon Youth Soccer Association. For more information, contact the SYSA at 541-600-4409, or email Siuslawyouth soccer@gmail.com.
