    Just moved to the area from "The Big City" of Raleigh. I have a couple of questions. First off Im looking to get my son involved with some type of sport. Are there currently any sports that have open registration for a 5yr old?? Also looking to get everybody's advice about "Must See" places to visit or events to attend. Thanks in Advance for you Feedback!!! :allears: :allears: :allears:

    www.gcaasports.com for all kinds of sports that start at various times of the year. www.gcaasoccer.com for more specifics about soccer (can also get to it from link at gcaasports).

    The best way to find out about GCAA sports is to keep an eye on the websites and also to go to

    http://www.gcaasoccer.com/registrations.htm

    and create an account. You will be in the GCAA database at that point, and when registrations open up for various sports or other events are upcoming, you'll be on their mailing list.

    Good luck!

    We love GCAA sports!

    We like Tucker Lake and Mudcat games (and of course the Bulls games on Thursday nights). In May the Ham and Yam festival in Smithfield is a lot of fun. We have a membership to the Smithfield Aquatic Center, which is really great in the winter. And there are some good area parks and playgrounds (although I emphatically don't recommend the one on Amelia Church).

    Welcome to the neighborhood!!

    Nope, disagree. More teens show up nowadays. And they are not there for the music.
