Racing to play soccer: The U8 Speed Racers team proudly display their “cars” at the opening ceremonies for the fall soccer season for the Anderson Youth Soccer League.
Friday, Aug. 14, the Anderson Youth Soccer League held its annual opening ceremonies for the fall season, starting with a parade of the league's teams.
There are approximately 461 local youths playing in the league this year and 42 teams with players between the ages of 4 to 19. Some youths are playing in the recreation division, others at a more competitive level referred to as division 3 or D3 for short, league president Don Coon said.
Each team will play approximately 10 games throughout the season, he said.
There was a disk jockey on hand to entertain the crowd during games, a raffle for two bicycles for local youth and exhibition games throughout the three-hour event. The annual banner contest was judged by local dignitaries and board members.
