  Soccer is the most popular sport in the world.  We're the world's largest Catholic fraternal society.  It is only fitting that soccer and the Knights of Columbus have teamed up.  The Supreme Council is proud to announce a new youth program, the Knights of Columbus Soccer Challenge.


      Designed for players to demonstrate the most basic of soccer skills - - the penalty kick - - the Soccer Challenge will be open toall boys and girls in your community, ages 10-14.

      The Soccer Challenge is one in which the soccer goal is divided into a series of five scoring zones, with a point value given to each section.  After the participant is given 15 penalty kicks, his or her total number of points will be awarded depending upon the scoring zones that were hit.  

 

The contest will take place on the council, district, regional, state, and international levels.

The recommended time frame for the Knights of Columbus Soccer Challenge is:
Council Championship – September
District Championship – October
State Championship - November

There will be NO Chapter contest and ALL District winners will be eligible for the State competition.
If there is only one Council participating in a District, that Council is eligible for State.
