GDU Spring 2009 Soccer Program
The Glacial Drumlin United (GDU) Soccer Club is a member of Madison Area Youth Soccer Association (MAYSA) and Wisconsin Youth Soccer Association (WYSA). Approximately 400 soccer clubs are in MAYSA with over 13,000 players participating. Soccer teams were first established in the Fall 1995 outdoor season. GDU sponsored twenty teams during the spring 2007 season. We will have separate girls and boys teams that play within MAYSA. Currently, GDU only has recreational soccer teams for the elementary and middle school students.
Who Can Play:
Players in 3rd through 8th grade this fall are invited to play with the Glacial Drumlin United (GDU) soccer club. GDU welcomes players from Cambridge, Cottage Grove, Deerfield, Fort Atkinson, Lake Mills, Marshall, and Waterloo.
Where We Play:
Home games are conducted on the Glacial Drumlin Fields (located at the intersection of Hwy. BB and Krueger Rd., 3 miles northeast of Deerfield) and other area fields in surrounding communities.
Format:
Typically 1-2 practices occur weekly. Coaches will inform their players of the practice and game schedule as soon as it is received.
Typically one game occurs weekly from April trhough early June. Each team's schedule consists of eight games against other teams in the greater Madison area. Games may be scheduled on weekday evenings or morning and afternoons on Saturday and Sunday. U-9, U-10, U-11 and U-12 teams may have games on Tuesdays and Thursdays, while U-13 and U-14 teams may have games on Mondays and Wednesdays.
Fees:
The cost will be $120 for the fall and spring season, or $65 for each of the fall and spring seasons if you pay by season. The spring season fee will be due in January. Fees are used to pay the MAYSA team fee, uniforms, player practice balls, referee fees, equipment, field maintenance and insurance. Additional funds are generated through donations and running the concession stand.
Equipment:
All players will receive a new uniform for the fall season. This uniform will be used for two years (08-09 and 09-10 seasons), so please order correct size.
The Club provides a team jersey, shorts, soccer socks and practice ball to each new GDU player.
Players provide their own shin guards and soccer cleats or athletic shoes. Shin guards are mandatory and soccer socks must be worn over the shin guards. Baseball cleats are not allowed.
