GASC Awarded 5 STAR Club Status

Indiana Soccer introduced the idea and concept of the 5-Star Program in 2018. The purpose of this initiative is to ensure legal corporate compliance and increase the capacity and quality of member clubs. Member Clubs and leagues are invited to elevate their performance in a few fundamental areas in order to meet the criteria established to earn "stars" in those areas. Once a member club or league has reached all 5 stars, they will be recognized and promoted for being a 5-STAR CLUB or 5-STAR LEAGUE.

Greenfield Area Soccer Club’s decision to work toward Indiana Soccer’s 5 Star Certification demonstrates their commitment to continually improving their programs and services. To become 5 Star compliant, The GASC Team underwent an extensive club-wide audit that included Risk Management identification and mitigation of threats to the organization as a whole, Education and Training documents and procedures review, an assessment of the organizations purpose / mission aligning with Indiana Soccer’s and U.S. Youth Soccer’s purpose / Mission, Policies and procedures review on how the organization communicates with participants, and the community and an extensive review of the organizations bylaws, policies and procedures and verification they are in good standing with the State of Indiana, U.S. Soccer, U.S. Youth Soccer, and Indiana Soccer.

Gaining 5 Star certification reinforces GASC’s relentless focus on creating industry-leading programs and services , measured against benchmarks of youth development excellence.
