Registration for the North Andover Soccer Association (NASA) 2006 spring season has initiated using the popular on-line registration system found on our website www.nasoccer.com. Returning or new members may register for the spring season via this link or may register at the walk-in registration on Wednesday, October 26th, 2005, at the North Andover Middle School from 7:00pm to 8:30pm. After November 4th, NASA will only be accepting late registrations (with late fee for returning families) until team rosters are filled.
