NMIFA continues player registration

Posted on Aug 19 2005
After the success of last weekend’s push for players, the Northern Marianas Islands Football (Soccer) Association is returning to the American Memorial Park to offer the kids in the CNMI a chance to be a part of their team.
Since replacing the Commonwealth Youth Soccer Organization, NMIFA has already signed up over 100 future World Cuppers, and today they’ll return to the AMP parking lot to sign up anyone who may have missed last weekend’s drive.
The new program will be open to children between the ages of four and a half and 16 with interest and enthusiasm as the only prerequisites.
The volunteers for the open registration will be on hand from 10am until 12noon and return at 2pm until 4pm. In order for the players to participate in the NMIFA, they need only pay a one-time registration fee of $25 per child.
As with any new league, NMIFA need a number of volunteers to help out with almost every aspect, and plans are already underway for a coach/referee clinic to be held next month as well as parents for coaching and officiating. While individuals with a background in the sport are encouraged to pass on their knowledge, training will provided and no experience is necessary.
Once the registration is all taken care of, the teams will take to the sea of green for their first practices on Tuesday afternoons at 4:30pm in the AMP, and the highly anticipated games will be held on Saturday afternoons at 4:30pm at the same location.
