In other WLYSA news, the Four Rivers Co-op supported WLYSA in building an outhouse at the Esler Soccer Complex this past spring, said Alexis Walch, WLYSA administrative coordinator.

"It turned out to be very timely and necessary as our well and indoor facilities were not operational for almost the entire spring season," said Watch.

WLYSA Fall Season

WLYSA has two offerings for some players this fall. Watch said WLYSA has their regular outdoor season being hosted at Esler Soccer Complex for ages U6 – U16, and they have secured space to practice at the Quesnel Indoor Facility for ages U11 – U18.

Registration is open and details are available through their website. www.wlysa.com
