AUBURN — The Lewiston Elks Lodge #371 will hold their annual local soccer shoot for youngsters under the age of 14 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 24, at the Edward Little High School soccer field. Winners from the event will advance to the district level, and possibly on to the state and regional levels of competition.
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 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 ages 10 and 11, and U-14, which contain ages 12 and 13.
Both contests are open to boys and girls, who shoot separately.
