CRYSA Registration Continues
Times are tough financially right now but don’t let that stop your child from participating in youth sports. The programs in Cumberland County are by far some of the most affordable statewide.

Registration for the Crossville Recreational Youth Soccer Association (CRYSA) continues through the month of May. Cost is only $45 per player with a maximum of $125 for the children in a family. That $45 fee covers the cost of a full uniform-authentic soccer jersey (not a t-shirt), shorts and socks along with insurance through Tennessee Soccer that covers all approved soccer activities (practices and matches) and helping to pay referee salaries.

Forty-five dollars is not a lot of money when you look closely. It is only $1.29 per day for a month. That’s a cold soda, one-third of a pack of cigarettes (you need to quit smoking anyways), or almost the price of a half gallon of gas this week. It’s also less than taking you’re family of four out to eat at a nice restaurant or to the movies one time.

CRYSA provides a limited number of financial aid scholarships for players needing help at a cost of $15. These are available on a first-come basis so don’t delay.

Even if you do not have a child playing you can always sponsor one or more players. Just stop by Century 21 on North Main Street and offer to pay for a player that couldn’t otherwise participate. Those players may never know whose generosity enabled them to play but they’re sure to appreciate it.

Speaking of sponsoring another way CRYSA keeps its fees low is through team sponsorships. Area businesses contribute $225 to sponsor a team. This amount gets the business name on the back of all jerseys for the team, the name mentioned when the team name is mentioned in print or on radio and a banner on the CRYSA website (www.eteamz.com/CRYSA) which can also link to the business’s website.

Last season CRYSA had 40 teams participating serving almost 500 children between the ages of 5-15. This year with the addition of a four-year-old division (U5) there will be even more teams and many more players.

You do not have to own a business to sponsor a team. Individuals can also sponsor a team and then give it whatever name they like. For instance, individuals have sponsored teams and placed the team name on the backs of jerseys rather than a business.

This story was written by a soccer person but it applies equally to the Mountaineer football program, USSSA baseball and softball, the Youth Center teams and all other youth activities. The bottom line is that as a community we either provide something positive like CRYSA or other youth sports and activities  for our children to participate in or many will get into something negative.
