AYSO-36 and San Mateo ELKS PRESENTS
(In conjunction with Picture Day)
SOCCER SHOOT CONTEST
Sunday, September 11, 2011
The yearly Elks Soccer Shoot Program is open to all boys and girls ages U-8 through U-14. The contest starts at the Lodge level; winners advance through district and state levels. All participants will receive participation certificates, and winners will receive individual awards. Last year two AYSO-36 participants made it all the way to the state finals: Oisin Fagan won the state U-12 and Nina Negahban finished 3rd in the U-10.
The Elks Soccer shoot program consists of two different contests that test different level skills at different ages. A “Five Goal Contest” consists of a series of five goals, decreasing in size from 48 inches to 17 inches. The age groups that use these goals are divided into two categories, U-8 contains all ages seven years old and younger, and U-10 group contains ages eight and nine. The contest is open to boys and girls who shoot separately. The U-8 contestants kick from 15 feet from the face of the goal, while the U-10 contestants kick from 18 feet from the goal.
The Grid Goal Contest consists of a full-size goal sectioned off so points can be scored when the ball is kicked into certain sections. The age groups that use this goal are U-12, which contain the ages ten and eleven, and U-14, which contain ages twelve and thirteen. The contest is open to both boys and girls, and they shoot separately.
This year the San Mateo Elks will participate once more, in the Soccer Shoot Program on September 11, 2011.
This day is “picture day” for AYSO Region 36 where hundreds and hundreds of youngsters and their parents will be present.
All participants will receive an official Elks Soccer Shoot T-shirt with the name of the sponsors printed on the back.
If you are interested in sponsoring and advertising your company, please call Nacho Perez at 650.483.1345.
In addition, the winners in each group will receive individual awards to be presented during our weekly Lodge dinner on WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14TH. Winners will advance to the District and State Competitions to be held weeks later.
