Millington's youngest are about to tie their shoelaces and don their jerseys as the Municipal Government of Millington, Tennessee, took to social media to announce the launch of a brand-new youth soccer program set to begin this fall. Aimed at the little feet of children ages 3 to 8, the program opens for registration on July 1, per the recent Facebook post. Games and practices are slated to take place at the Ed Haley Sports Complex, with drills starting in August and matches kicking off in September.
The call has also been put out to parents of would-be soccer stars older than the maximum age currently catered to. They're encouraged to properly complete a form, to be found on the city's Facebook page, that could eventually lead to the program expanding to include older age groups if there's enough interest. It's a strategic move that not only gauges demand but could also foster growth in Millington’s youth sports offerings.
The announcement, which pans to the future of local sports, highlights that Millington is laying down the groundwork not just for physical activity but for community building. It reads, "We’re kicking off a youth soccer program this fall! 🥅🏃♀️🏃♂️ Practices begin in Aug.; Games in Sept."
Details about the program are still dribbling in, but those interested in more information can reach out to Millington Parks & Recreation by phone. For all the soccer moms, dads, and guardians out there, it's time to start planning to shuttle your kids back and forth to the Ed Haley Sports Complex come August.
