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.

Dennis Martinez
