Soccer is one of the fastest growing youth activities in the country. The Elks Soccer Shoot Program is geared to coincide with this sport phenomenon. From toddlers to teens, in our large urban centers to our small suburban settings, soccer is becoming the sport of choice for our youth. This program is the kind of sporting event to help keep our youth focused and away from undesirable activities.
The Elks Soccer Shoot program consists of two different contests that test different level skills at different ages. The age groups that use these goals are divided into two categories, U-8 contains all ages seven years old and younger, and U-10 group contains ages eight and nine. The contest is open to boys and girls who shoot separately. The U-8 contestants kick from 15 feet from the face of the goal, while the U-10 contestants kick from 18 feet from the goal.
- A two-stage contest that best represented the skill levels of four age groups: 7 and under (U-8), 8-9(U-10), 10-11(U-12), and 12-13(U-14).
- The "Five Goal Contest" with its succession of smaller target goals lets younger participants (U-8 & U-10) builds their confidence as they move down the line. It matches both physical and skill abilities to the challenge they present.
- The "Grid Goal Contest" uses the penalty kick distance to challenge the older participants (U-12 & U-14) to lift the ball from the field while aiming it for score, thus developing advanced skills.
