The Greenfield boys and girls high school soccer teams are hosting a series of youth soccer clinics Aug. 4-8 from 9 a.m.-3:30 p.m. 

The clinics will be run by the Greenfield varsity coaches and players and will take place at the Greenfield High School varsity field. Players will receive instruction on passing, dribbling, cardio, body shape, defending, tactics, goalie work and finishing. The clinics are open to all boys and girls aged 6-13, of any skill level, across Franklin County. Cost of attendance is $100 for the whole week. A lunch break will be provided for players. Families are able to sign up for lunch to be provided by Greenfield Public Schools Food Services, which they can indicate when they register. 

To register for the clinic contact Greenfield boys varsity coach Erich Leaper at erilea1@gpsk12.org or 413-575-0467. The deadline to register for the youth clinics is July 20. 

Greenfield United is also holding registration for the fall season. Registration is open for boys and girls aged 7-14 from Greenfield and the surrounding towns. Please note that if your player does not live or attend school in Greenfield, the club will need to submit a waiver for them to play. The club is introducing beginners clinics for players aged 5-7 who want a low stress environment to learn basic fundamentals without having to play in matches yet.

The club is searching for coaches and will not submit a team for an age group without two coaches dedicated to that team. If you're interested in coaching please reach out to Gia Westerman (Giacwesterman@gmail.com).

To register visit greenfieldunited.com. The deadline to register for the fall season is July 14. Any questions, contact Leaper at contact@greenfieldunited.com or (413) 575-0467.
