Grassroots Soccer 3v3 Tournament a Success!

soccer

A fun afternoon of soccer was had by the participants of the 3v3 Tournament to benefit Grassroots Soccer. The event included the youngest of ball boys and sideline cheers from the Pre-K-2 DS Soccer Sunday Soccer program right up to players from grades 3-12. The match ups were epic and while challenging included some light-hearted competition.

What was most impressive were the varsity captains acting as referees, but also additional players on teams that needed a leg up on their competition. It felt like the best of our soccer community coming together for a great cause! Congratulations to all who ran it and participated! Watch for it to return next year!!
