Dunk’em at Youth Soccer Day

You’ll be able to dunk a politician, buy some interesting items, and, of course, play the beautiful game at Youth Soccer Day in Community Park, New Albany this Saturday (September 11, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.).

The day long event is one of many activities planned for the eighth annual Youth Soccer Month, which is being organized by local clubs Southern Indiana United and Net-Surfers.

Games take place all day, while you’ll be able to pick up some bargains at the special soccer yard sale, visit informational tables, and avail of freebies and door prizes.

Rumor has it that in addition to local soccer coaches getting dunked by the kids, state representative Ed Clare will also take his turn on the hot (or should that be wet) seat.

“It will be a fun, family day to celebrate youth soccer,” said SIU’s vice-president Debbie Webb.



Along with club president Jim Kotowski, Webb collected the merchandise for the yard sale.

“There will be soccer items for sale at ridiculous prices, and no item will cost more than $5,” she said.

Other events as part of Youth Soccer Month will be tonight’s Floyd Central/Providence and Christian Academy of Indiana/Silver Creek girls’ matchups, two of many high school games this month when you can wear your club jersey and get in free.

SIU will spend an evening with the University of Louisville’s men’s soccer team this Friday, ahead of the Cards’ home game against Fordham (7 p.m.), while Ultimate Soccer Mom (and Dad) Appreciation Day will take place on Wednesday, September 22.
