Portland Soccer Club Members,
Introducing the first-ever Portland Soccer Club Social Distancing Spring Juggling Challenge. For juggling tips, be sure to watch some of our videos on the new Player Training page of our website, featuring juggling videos and other technical training with Coach Erin.
While our spring soccer season has been cancelled, that doesn’t mean we can’t make use of the beautiful spring weather and still have fun with soccer!
In the month of May, let’s see how many juggles you can get! Capture your best juggle session on video, and submit your video entry to me by Friday, June 5. In each age category, the players with the most juggles on camera in their age category will receive prizes (girls and boys are competing together in each age category).
Prize Categories Based on Birth Year
2012-2013 Rec kids
2010-2011 Travel boys and girls, U9-U10
2008-2009 Travel boys and girls, U11-U12
All older kids born in 2007 or before, U13+
First prize in each category will get $25 and second place will receive $15 Amazon credit for soccer gear
I encourage each player to give it a try, and challenge themselves to increase their own personal record. If they manage to get five, then go for six! If they get ten, then go for eleven!
This will be a fun way to get outdoors, get some touch on the ball, and keep our skills and conditioning levels up. Let me know if you have any questions!
Start capturing those juggles, and send us your best videos!
