PRINCE GEORGE – The Prince George Soccer Association (PGYSA) hosted kids aged from two to 11 years old for their World Cup Tournament this past weekend. This gave young athletes the opportunity to get back out on the pitch, have some fun in the sun, and enjoy the amenities that the field offered.

“Every team gets medals and a certificate, and the winning team gets to hold a replica of the World Cup trophy. And then we have face painting, water balloons, chalk, bouncy castles and food for everyone here today,” said Arianna Payne, Summer Student with the PGYSA.

If you’re above the age of 11, your turn is coming soon. This tournament is put on twice to make sure that everyone gets the chance to partake.

“Then our older age groups from 12 to 18 are going to play in September, and it just gives everybody an opportunity from all age groups to come out and play. Both male and female teams get a chance to play against each other and have some competition. And yeah, it’s awesome,” said Gerry Wyers, President of PGYSA.
