Winners will be contacted directly with additional information.
Here are just a few reasons why these players love to play soccer....
"It feels so good getting a goal....I also like winning, but I don't mind losing."
"You can make so many friends in the game of soccer. This is how I met some friends that are now my best friends."
"I like playing a team sport, because if you make a mistake, the team is always there to help you improve and to encourage you to do everything well."
"Soccer has been great in keeping me in shape and much stronger than a lot of girls my age...I am tough."
"I usually score at least one point a game, but if I don't, that's ok."
"I love the teamwork and effort put into the game. Although it takes a lot of practice and attention, I believe it is worth it."
