KAMLOOPS, BC––Parents of children wishing to play organized soccer in 2012 have until February 1st to register their child(ren) to be guaranteed a place on a Kamloops Youth Soccer Association (KYSA) team.

This year, parents have the option of registering on-line or manually through the KYSA office on McArthur Island.

The KYSA runs leagues that start in mid-April and run to the end of June, for boys and girls in the U-5 to U-18 age groups. Players in the U-5 to U-12 divisions also participate in a fall season which starts when the youngsters return to school in September and runs through the early part of October.

Registration fees for the KYSA’s 2012 House League Program are $165.00 (U-5 to U-10) and $185.00 (U-11 to U-18) per player. A family discount of $50 is offered to parents who register three or more children.

Anyone signing up after February 1st will be charged an additional $25.00 late registration fee and will be placed on a waiting list in the event teams in their age group are full.

Parents/players can register by visiting the KYSA’s web site at www.kysa.net where they will find details on the two registration options.

Enquiries can be directed to the youth soccer association’s headquarters at 250-376-2750.

The KYSA will be entering a total of 20 boys and girls rep teams in this year’s Thompson-Okanagan Youth Soccer League (TOYSL) and in Provincial Cup play in age groups ranging from U-12 to U-18. Players on these teams were selected through tryouts held in July of last year.
