    South Bay Soccer

    The South Bay Youth Soccer League is now accepting sign-ups for the spring season for boys and girls in the under-6 through under-14 age divisions (ages determined as of July 31, 2002).

    The season runs March 9 through June 1, and there will be tournaments at the end of the regular season. Players play at least half of every game.

    The registration fee of $65 per player includes a uniform, photo package and end-of-the-season award. Family discounts are available. After Feb. 28, there will be a $10 late registration fee charged and the family discount will not be offered.

    The San Jose Giants, a Class A affiliate of the San Francisco Giants, is looking for local families to take in their players this season.
