The Flower Mound Parks Board meeting on October 2, 2025, highlighted the impressive growth and community impact of the Greater Louisville Area Soccer Association (GLASA) as it completed its third year of a five-year youth sports contract. Athletic Supervisor Matt Chutchan reported that GLASA has successfully expanded its youth soccer programs, now serving over 2,800 players, including 834 from Flower Mound alone.

GLASA President David Enderle detailed the association's achievements, including partnerships with the Girls Classic League and Tiger tournaments, which enhance opportunities for local players. The organization has hosted six tournaments this year, with a notable increase in participation, turning away over 100 teams due to limited field space. Enderle emphasized the economic benefits of these events, stating that they fill local hotels and contribute to the community's revenue.

Financially, GLASA maintains competitive registration fees, offering discounts for residents and families in need. The association also awards scholarships and supports special needs programs, demonstrating its commitment to inclusivity. The "Empower FC" program for special needs players has seen significant growth, with a 50% increase in participation since its inception.

Looking ahead, GLASA aims to continue expanding its offerings, including additional tournaments and programs, while ensuring safety through concussion awareness initiatives and referee training. The meeting underscored GLASA's vital role in promoting youth soccer and fostering community engagement in Flower Mound.
