    About us
 


Greenville Area Soccer Association is dedicated to giving the youth of Northern Mercer County the opportunity to play, learn the fundamentals, learn basic and advanced skills and tactics, and enjoy the sport of soccer at all levels of amateur play. We serve the School Districts of Greenville, Reynolds, Jamestown, Commodore Perry. We also serve any child who wants the opportunity to participate in youth soccer.

Greenville Area Soccer Association (GASA) is an educational and charitable organization. GASA activities include teaching soccer to youth from the age of 5 to under the age of 19 at all skill levels, educating coaches, educating parents about their role in youth sport, organizing games and practices, providing for the facilities to conduct team practices and games, organizing teams to play league games, training referees to referee games, conducting tournaments - (We hope to bring more of these to the 42 acres Sports Complex), organizing training academies and workshops, and raising funds to conduct said activities.

GASA has a volunteer Board of Directors (BOD) overseeing the activities of its organization. BOD may hire employees or contract individuals to carry out specific functions such as Coach Education, Coaching teams and youth academies, Referee education, and Referee games; as well as labor intensive administrative roles such as registration, assigning referees to games, and field management. To keep expenses as low as possible, we try to use volunteers as much as we can.

GASA is associated with the US Soccer Federation and the PA-West Youth Soccer Association.

GASA offers two levels of play that works off a pyramid for achieving educational goals: Recreational - Division and  Competitive - Division. For each the enjoyment of the game is the first priority.

Recreation soccer - everyone that signs up by the deadline is guaranteed a spot on a team and practices are usually held at a 42 Acre Sports Complex. Because we are somewhat rural in the area that we serve and our coaches come from all over, we are unable to form teams by schools. Recreational soccer's purpose is to provide the experience, so that a player may develop the skill to choose to tryout for the Competitive - Division  program.


  GASA COACHING AND PLAYER DEVELOPMENT MISSION STATEMENT
TO AID USSF, THE YOUTH AND AMATEUR DIVISIONS IN THEIR STATED AIMS, BY CREATING THE BEST POSSIBLE ENVIRONMENT FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE YOUTH AND AMATEUR SOCCER PLAYER IN NORTHERN MERCER COUNTY THROUGH:
  • Emphasizing that playing for-the-love-of-soccer should be made an enjoyable life long experience.
  • Encouraging the creation of age-appropriate league match environments.
  • Asking coaches to utilize appropriate teaching methods in practice (age-appropriate activities and games), whilst letting the game be the teacher.
  • Increasing the awareness of safety issues/adult behavior issues.
  • Facilitating participation in that level of competition that enables players to be challenged at their appropriate level...including the elite player.
  • Emphasizing player development over winning/losing, especially amongst younger players.

Hope to see you on the soccer field!
