On September 30th the GSA produced a co-ed soccer team that represented National Team Greece at the annual Clubs Cup hosted by UTICA. Many teams participated including Team Italy, Portugal, China, Korea, Croatia and other rivaling nations. It was an amazing year for the GSA. In the first game we demolished Team China. In the second game the GSA beat UTICA in a close call. Keeping our winning streak going we beat Croatia in the third game by a long shot. The semi-finals, covered in mud from head to toe, the GSA destroyed the Latin team. The final, versus UTICA, was a game to be remembered. We won with a final score of 6-2. Congratulations to all our players, who played through injuries, red cards and mud!

On September 26th the GSA held its annual Raketes and BBQ Day. For many old and new members it was a fun way to learn Greek racket ball, a sport that is very popular on the beaches of Greece. Along with fun and games each member received a free souvlaki meal prepared by our excellent cooks. Thanks to everyone who came out!

At the current phase of the Project the production of the educational material is already completed and it will be piloted starting in November 2011, involving the teachers who participated in the Project and learners of Greek in an advanced level from all around the world.
