ATLANTA FLYING DISC CLUB TEAMS UP WITH GEORGIA SOCCER PARK

The Atlanta Flying Disc Club (AFDC) and Georgia Soccer Park (GSP) unite to form strong partnership in South Fulton County. By the name, Georgia Soccer Park may imply that it only supports and provides for 'soccer' related programs, but in reality soccer is only one of many sports that GSP caters to. The AFDC has decided to take their involvement with the Park a step further and become a partner by making a financial contribution that will fully fund the development of GSP's sixth field, which is scheduled to be ready for play September 1, 2009.

"GSP is pleased and excited to welcome AFDC as a new partner," said Tom Deaver, The Executive Director. "By partnering with well-established community athletic organizations and programs, we are able to expand both what the local residents can find at our Park and the positive impact of this organization."

The AFDC is dedicated to promoting the game of Ultimate in Atlanta. The AFDC is a non-profit organization that currently has over 1000 members and continues to grow. The excitement of the Park and what it is providing to the community is contagious and AFDC recognizes this and wants to be a part of it now and in the future. "I believe that this partnership will be of benefit to both parties as GSP will now be partnered with a well-organized adult athletic organization with a large and loyal membership, while AFDC will be linked to and able to participate on world-class fields at a beautiful facility with a great vision," said Jenny Lee, President of the AFDC.

    GSP is home to a diverse mix of soccer programs as well as other sporting events, tournaments and leagues. In addition to soccer programs, GSP has also hosted USA Rugby 7s, AFDC and UPA Ultimate Frisbee, USA Lacrosse, Gaelic Football, and various sports camps.  GSP's tenant youth soccer programs include the USSF National Development Academy, USYSA Region III Premier League, Atlanta Cup, Norcross Nike Cup, Concorde Fire Challenge Cup, and GYSA leagues. Our adult soccer programs include the Liga Metropolitana and the Atlanta District Amateur Soccer League.

    The high level soccer programs compliment the recreational programs and charitable outreach programs that involve some of South Fulton and Southwest Atlanta's disadvantaged youth. GSP is happy to provide free field space to these wonderful programs, including America Scores and Soccer in the Streets, and hopes to raise the funds needed to build an on-site study hall to house the educational portions of these after-school programs soon.

America SCORES Cup - Thursday, March 20, 2008

As part of GSP's initiative of community outreach, we are hosting the America SCORES Cup on Saturday, April 25th. This is a 7v7 corporate fundraising soccer tournament benefitting America SCORES Atlanta, the only non-profit organization that uses soccer to inspire literacy and health among inner-city youth.

America SCORES Atlanta helps in educating children through after-school programs in soccer, literacy, and service-learning. By participating in a team sport the children learn the importance of team work, leadership, conflict resolution, and a healthy active lifestyle.
