Eel River Soccer

Eel River Valley Youth Soccer League is excited to announce that Challenger Sports British Soccer will be running a week-long soccer camp for all players this summer on the week of July 21-25 for boys and girls aged 3- 14 years old. Professional British coaches will work with our players to help develop foot skills, core skills and techniques in the game to improve ball control, 1v1’s, passing and shooting and defending. Over 125,000 children experienced this camp last year in the USA. All kids get a free ball and t-shirt, player evaluation and soccer poster and by signing up on-line before June 6th every player will get a FREE British Soccer Jersey!

Capital Live Scan has approved walk-in vendors across Northern California. They have a map and directory coaches can view. If an approved vendor is not near your location, you can schedule additional appointments, or you can view the Capital Live Scan calendar to see if anyone near your area is hosting a live scan event—which you can attend as long as you provide them with the correct district and league number for billing purposes.

I hope this helps!

We need volunteers to help with setup in the AM, the information booth, wandering around as field marshals to help direct wayward looking folks and clean up at the end of the day.

Setup starts at 7AM and Clean up will commence around 2:30PM.

Thank you everyone!
