Lake Oconee Elks Lodge No. 2849 invites all kids ages 4-15 in Greene, Hancock, Morgan, and Putnam counties to visit the Greene County Recreation Center (2741 Old Union Point Rd., Greensboro) this Saturday from 9-11 a.m. (registration begins 8 a.m.) to participate in the Elks’ annual Soccer Shoot program.
With five different age groups (age on Jan. 1, 2023; proof of age required), boys and girls will shoot separately. Children seven and under will try to kick a soccer ball through five goals of decreasing size. Kids 8-9, 10-11, 12-13, and 14-15 years old will kick through a gridded goal, with points awarded as the ball goes through specific sections of the goal.
Medallions will be presented to the winning boy and girl in each age group. Both of the first-place winners will advance to the Elks’ Regional Competition at a date yet to be determined.
A free hotdog lunch will be provided to all entrants immediately following the Soccer Shoot. Apparel and indoor or outdoor footwear appropriate for soccer are required.
Contact Lake Oconee Elks Soccer Shoot Chairman Bob Pluta at 770-331-8103 for additional information.
