Dear GUSA Members:

Last fall, GUSA enjoyed one of our finest seasons with more than 200 players participating on 21 teams in seven divisions, from U5 through U16.  Three GUSA teams enjoyed tremendous success in local tournaments:  the U10 Girls “Green Tigers” and U12 Girls “Red Sox” won their divisions in the MYSL MegaBlast (Midlothian Youth Soccer League) recreational soccer tournament. In addition, GUSA’s U8 “Purple People Eaters” won their division at the Jefferson Open 3v3 held last summer at Striker Park. 

At our November meeting, the GUSA Board elected the following officers:

We are currently looking to grow our Board participation.  If your child has a love for the game of soccer, and you would like to see more soccer opportunities for the youth of Goochland, we invite you to join with us.  It doesn’t cost anything, doesn’t require a significant amount of time, and you could surely make an impact.  If you are interested in joining our organization, or would like additional information, please feel free to contact me at 804 556 2202 or president@gusasoccer.com.

Our Board has a number of new initiatives slated for 2010.  Chief among those are working with the county to develop the land behind Taylor’s for new soccer fields, and improving the soccer experience for the youth of Goochland.

If you have any questions about GUSA, please feel free to contact any board member.  We will do our best to help you, listen to your concerns and recommendations, and answer your questions.

Last of all, the Board would like to thank everyone who made the fall season so successful:  coaches, volunteers, referees, Buildings & Grounds, Parks & Rec, and team parents.  You all make GUSA possible.

We thank you for your support as we look forward to a special spring 2010 season.

Sincerely,

Raleigh deShazo

President

Goochland United Soccer Association
