Soccer Saves 3v3 Youth Soccer Tournament

Join us for the first ever Soccer Saves 3v3 soccer tournament. The tournament is on Sunday, June 3rd. Boys & girls ages U10-U15 are encouraged to put a team of friends together and to come out and play. All proceeds raised from the tournament will go towards our goal of funding the first ‘pea gravel’ soccer field in Africa adorned with a cement-block community center clubhouse (CCC) where kids and coaches can gather and to play and hear about healthy lifestyles.   Statistics are staggering; showing 7000 new HIV infections PER DAY among the 15-24 year olds in Sub-Saharan Africa. Education is the key to ending this epidemic, and soccer opens the door for a healthier lifestyle.

We will have some Sounders players at the event along with Cliff McCrath as well who is the co-founder of Soccer Saves and the Director of Northwest Soccer Camp.
