Garden City Sports Consortium - The Garden City Centennial Soccer Club, Garden City Rams Lacrosse and the Garden City Athletic Association met to establish a cooperative group together with Garden City resident Dr. Joe Pando of Sport Psychology Consulting. The objective of the group is to define and communicate appropriate goals, objectives and model behavior for coaches and parents, believing that if we all strive to achieve these goals and keep youth sports in the proper perspective, it will benefit the children, coaches and parents in all our programs. Please take a moment to read this information provided by the Garden City Sports Consortium which can be found on our web site at http://www.gc-aa.com/gcsc.htm.
