The Selma Times-Journal

While baseball and softball have held the attention of children and parents throughout the Selma and Dallas County area for a majority of the summer, their focus can now shift to one of the world’s most popular sports – soccer.

The YMCA of Selma and the Selma Recreation Department are teaming up to sponsor a recreational soccer league.

Pre-registration for the sport begins today and will run through Aug. 15. Cost to register is free.

Children who sign up to play will be evaluated on Aug. 16 and 18 and then placed on teams, age groups range from 4-and 5-years old to 12-and 13-years-old.

Cost to register is free and the deadline to register is Aug. 23. For more information contact the Selma Recreation Department, 874-2140 or the Y at 874-7476.
